New Cichlid Setup Help

[freddie21]

hi everyone not been on here for a very long time ...glad to be back
due to us moving house we gave away our fish (tropical) and completely emptied our tank of all gravel substrate and equipment. Now weve moved into our new house we have decided to set up a malawi cichlid tank. We have had this setup a few years back but we wasnt very creative like we have been now. We bought 25kg ocean rock...crushed coral type of gravel ...new bulbs...replaced the trickle filter with a fluval 306 external filter and have had it running since saturday no problems until today. Came home from work to find the water really cloudy. does any one know why this is or is it to be expected?
thanks in advance

Glad you're back and into Malawi cichlids.
I am currently setting up a 100 Gal Mbuna tank.....in the process of cycling the tank.
Have you completed cycling or is the cloudiness occurring during the process?
Do you have any water test results recorded thus far....may help in finding a cause of the cloudiness.
Stay with it ..... many knowledgeable members here and solutions are certain to be found!
