My son is 10 years old and has had an aquarium since August. this morning he came downstairs complaining that the water was cloudy again. I discovered the rocks covered in food where he had obviously overfed them. I performed a 25% water change with the vacuum and netted as much of the free floating food as I could. My question is, would it be okay to do another 25% change later this evening to vacuum the gravel again?
 
Yes you can do another partial water change.

Don't let your son feed the fish! Keep the food out of reach and only do feeding in your presence, you can give him the food into his hand and then he can sprinkle it into the tank. That will avoid this situation again. At least until he learns what the correct amount to feed and when.
