So couple of things, first off being, a 45gal is a bit small for one single tail fish. How many other fish do you have in there?

Second, and the bigger thing, goldfish don't do well with flakes. They tend to sift through sand (I really strongly do not recommend gravel for goldfish because they can suck one up and choke) for food. Its a great goldfish pastime. But they don't do well with flakes because they break up, like you said, dirty the water and you shouldn't be feeding them at the surface. Its a bigger issue for fancies but still a good habit for singles too. Try to get yourself some sinking fish pellets. Also, if he's having a hard time competing for food, make it so he can eat. I have four fancies in the same tank. Two are faster than the other two and easily get all the food so I hand feed them to make sure each is getting the right amount.

I really recommend a gel food though. I'm personally madly in love with Repashy Soilent Green. It looks on the pricy side but it lasts a good long while not to mention, it doesn't have any of the issues with flakes. It sinks really well, doesn't disengigrate in water making it foil and is really great for goldfish. But you can also make your own like this user did. Either way, switching off flakes to something that will sink will help a lot. You can even try veggie clips to hold veggies underwater for them in one place.

Might want to give repashy soilent green a shot. It's a gel food you mix yourself with boiling water. It takes a couple of minutes once every two weeks and it's much more nutritional and helps prevent some health issues. A lot of breeders and distributors like Jenny from Solid Gold and Dandy Oranda swear by it. You can get it on Amazon and the powder lasts forever. I've had mine for several months and hardly made a dent in it.

Weelllll...the best setup is the biggest you can afford. The bare minimum for 2 fancies would be a 40 gallon breeder, but the more space you can give them the better. If you live in the US you can get a pretty awesome discount on aquariums up to 75 gallons (varies by store) fairly often when they do "Dollar Per Gallon" sales. Petco does the most frequent DPGs but Petsmart and Pet Supplies Plus also do them. Petsmart sometimes just has heavily discounted sets also. Anyway, $40 is the least it will cost if you buy a new tank, but maybe you can find a great deal for a secondhand tank on a resale site if you prefer that route.

Filter...maybe go with a SunSun as they're quite cheap for their quality. I use this one and while the UV sterilizer is generally unnecessary I guess it might be helpful in an ich outbreak or something. It's actually slightly below the 10xph flow rate for my 55g so I supplement it with a HOB filter that I keep spare media in in case it's ever needed. For media in the canister I have sponges of varying coarseness, generic ceramic rings (for nitrifying bacteria), and Seachem Matrix (for nitrate-consuming bacteria).

The best water tester is the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. It may seem expensive at first glance, but it's actually cheaper over time - AND more accurate than strips. For water changes, since I don't have a faucet that can support a Python auto-changer, I use a pump stuck to the bottom of the bucket to push water up through spare tubing. Saves me the trouble of lifting heavy buckets or trying to gradually scoop the water out.

The best foods are New Life Spectrum, Repashy, Saki-Hikari, and if you need a cheaper option Omega One. You should also supply plenty of leafy greens; the fiber is very good for their digestive tract.
