why am I cloudy?

[jcarroll]

My tank is two and a half weeks old and I noticed a couple of days ago it started becoming a little bit cloudy. What can I do to get it back to looking crystal clear? I already cut back on the amount of food I am feeding my starter fish.(damsels)
Before anyone says anything about the fish, it was what I was told to do to run the bio cycle by my lfs. Now I know that there are better ways to do it.

The clouding is common in a cycle. Dont add anything or dont worry too much...In a couple days it will be crystal clear again. Lots of weird things happen during the cycle, and pretty much fix themselves.

Yeah it has something to do with the amonnia and the bacteria, i think Bang Guy explained it to me too, but never fear, it will clear!!

I have the same problem but I have not yet started my cycle. Is it normal for the tank to be cloudy 24-48 hours after mixing your salt? I have a 55 gallon that I mixed reef crystals and added my agronite base to. Will it clear or do I just start my cycle by adding food as if I had fish? I was going to buy some live rock and place in there but I dont know if I should.

mine was. It took 2 or three days to clear up
