Ok I am cycling 90lbs of uncured live rock in my tank. My question is it normal for the water to be a little cloudy and have a yellowish green tint to it?

Sounds similar to how mine looked during the cycle. I waited to start skimming until after the cycle had completed. The water cleared up nicely. I don't know if it was due to the skimming or just natural settling of particles.

Yep skimmer or carbon will do the trick. The yello is from Disolved Organic Carbons in the water which the LR has introduced as it is curing.
