yeah it's normal for the first day. they're just need to get used to the new enviroment.(supposing your parameters are good) why did your tank got cloudy? have you checked your parameters?

can you check your parameters?
when you say....they said it was cool, what does that mean?
in other words....
you've got ammonia....its cool = not cool.
or
you've got 0 ammonia and nitrites with a little nitrates....its cool = yup, its cool.
??

my damsels were right at home in my new tank, my clarkii clowns took about 2 days to come out of hiding and swim in the open water...and my foxface took a good 2 weeks to become comfortable enough to swim around in open water. Depends on the fish I guess...but they like a little time to get comfy before they come out.

you might not wanna believe the salinity part. because lfs keep salinity really low..
don't let the powerhead disturbed the sandbed...

You never answered the part about how you added the fish. The reason I asked is because I wanted to know if you just dumped the bags from the LFS into the tank, which may be what caused the cloudiness.
