I am very new at this. I have my Tank set up and filter running, protein skimmer running and rock added. Its been two days now and the waters still cloudy. Is this normal and if not what do I need to do. Thanks for the help.

Do you have a sand bottom? If so, check your water return, it could be stirring up the fine sand dust.

If the sands not being stirred up by the returns, just give it another day or two. It took mine four days to clear.
