I'm still trying to get my first month of cycling down looks like I ran through my stages of ammonia and nitrites and nitrates I did do a water change last weekend and everything's been looking great but now I have cloudy water the last 2 days I was wondering what that could be?

Most likely a bacterial bloom. Should go away on its own within a week or two. If you have any live stock you want to ensure there’s plenty of oxygen in the water (air stone, skimmer, powerhead pointed at surface). But otherwise nothing to worry about.

Not living in tank yet, Jebao powerhead pulls a vortex every 30 minutes or so & sends a blast of bubbles. It's about 4 in down just about the top of the rock

Yep, looks like a bacterial bloom, just give it a week or two and it should go away. You can add a UV sterilizer if you want to go away faster.

You will have years of enjoyment. A few extra weeks wait is worth it
