ammonia too high, now cloudy tank

I would keep doing pwcs. You want your ammonia below .25. Soon enough the cycle will take hold and the ammonia will be gone.

You are not completely out of the woods, yet.

Keep reading daily, because the ammonia can peak again if there is not enough bacteria in the tank, 0.5 to 1 ppm of Ammonia still is bad for the fish, clear water doesn't mean that you are ok.

So keep an eye until your reading for Ammonia and Nitrite are all the time 0ppm

Good luck
