New Live Rock

I recieved my live rock yesterday and I rinsed it all off and placed it in my tank. I was already expecting it to cloud up my water thinking it would all clear up after some time however, since the moment I placed the rock in the tank, the rock made my water a brownish yellow color and its been that way ever since. Has any of you experienced this before? Should I do a water change even though my tank is still cycling? :help:

If Ammonia is high then do a water change.
What you're describing is a symptom of not enough waterflow.

I currently have two powerheads in my tank at 230 gph. It isn't as bad as it was yesterday but it is still noticable. Should I take out the rock and scrub it down some more?
