new tank and its still cloudy! need help :(

[boostedtegg]

It's been eight days now and the water is still cloudy as ****. Added biozyme, tap water conditioner, water clarifier and still nothing. Ph lvl is 8.2 ammonia is at 0 nitrate is 0 nitrite is 0. Today I took some gravel from my friends tank and added it in today. Anyone have any suggestion...

Do daily water changes.

DO NOT use chemicals that say they will clear up your aquarium, when water changes do the job.

from what i have learned in my short time in tanks, i had a amonia spike so i added ammo lock, it clouded my tank like a champ took 2 weeks to fully clear up. it is the addative (chemicals) that made it cloudy. after that i did pwc daily and that cleared it right up and my ammonia levels came back down to 0. so i would suggest to just to daily pwc's and it should then be fine.

Day 14 hmmm water been little green and cloudy. Is that normal? I been doing water change everyday and adding ammonia in ever few days to get the lvl up to 4pmm. Am I doing this cycle right?
