Hello, another family new to this, we’ve set up the tank washed the gravel and substrate, introduced plants, tap safe and filter booster. 24 hours in the water remains slightly cloudy. Is this to be expected. Thank you in advance.
 
Welcome! It should clear up soon, right now the bacteria is starting to colonize, it's a process best explained in the following link:

 
Hi, the tank is cycling and the cloudy aspects is part of that process of developing a good biological filter system, full cycling or maturity will often take six to eight weeks. You’ll need to have patience, it’s a natural and slow process.
