Easy fix!

First: Get a good biological additive! I use CYCLE (its a hagen product). Load er up! With any biological additive you can see associated cloudy water after use. Dont sweat it it should be kinda cloudy white if it does happen. leave it it will clear in time.

Second: Now that you have some substantial waste prodction from your live rock you will start to cycle your biological system. The unfortunate truth is if there is no major souce of Ammonia/Nitrites your system will not start to establish. You are now seeing the establishment of your tank.

Third: If you are concerend about the livestock then do a 10-20% water change every other day. Make sure that the salinity is close. Dont sweat about using your tap water at this stage. As long as you are removing the chlorine with a de-chlorinator (sodium thiosulfate based, start rite or chlor-ex what ever) it will chelate most of the trace metals. Also make sure obviously that the water is coming out of the tank. Not just topping it off (that is when you run into most problems long term with tap water)

Final: WoooSAHHHH, relax. It is totaly normal for this kind of thing to happen. Expecially if the live rock was not completly cured or some one over fed/died/rotted ect.

DO NOT PUT AN ION EXCHANGE RESIN IN NOW! any kind of ammoia remover/ sponge.

It will inhibit the cycle process, and make your life really really suck latter on!

TRUST ME!
