whats wrong with my water?

[Xxaprilrose]

So I have a new 90 gallon tank. The SECOND i filled up my tank and turned on the filter the water has been soooo cloudy. Never even had a chance to get the "cloudy due to bacteria" stage. I feel like something mustve caused it? Its been this way now for 4 days (filled it 4 days ago). The water was filled, I used seachem prime to dechlorinate, then I also added fritz 7 for the bacteria but it was cloudy before the bacteria. I have a hunch maybe it could be the filter? Im using Seachem Tidel 110 for the filter but I added some other stuff into it so the layers are as follows:

bottom layer: filter floss
second layer: sponge that comes with the filter
third layer: carbon sheet
fourth layer: another sponge (same one as before)
fifth layer: 3 packets of purigen (i have driftwood so was trying to prevent tannins)
sixth layer: the biomedia that came with the filter

Did I add stuff in the wrong order and maybe thats whats causing it?

Any help would be appreciated. thanks so much.

Also things to note: ph: 7.6
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0

Does the filter have the charcoal type cartridge? If so, did you rinse it in warm water before putting it in and starting the filter?

By the way, that is a beautiful tank

Any tannins leaching of the wood?

Did you rinse off the substrate and all of the decorations throughly before adding them to the tank? Maybe it’s the driftwood that’s causing the cloudy water.
