Hmm.. mine was cloudy too but not for very long time. Just keep on checking your parameters, it doesn’t matter if it was cloudy IMO, since you’ll not be adding any fish or inverts for couple weeks more, just wait for the cycle to complete and you’ll be good to go[emoji1303]
 
Glad to read that your tank water is clearing, yet it must go through the nitrogen process and your system is not there.

Wait for NH3/NH4 to zero out turning into NO2, when the NO2 is zero you'll start to see NO3.

Using DR and dry sand will extend the 'cycle' time.
 
Welcome to R2R!!! It sounds like your on your way! As others mentioned let it complete it's cycle.
