This here is my new setup up for a African cichlid tank. I set it up last night and ran the filter all night. Water looks a little cloudy and tons of air bubbles on glass and in sand. Can I start cycling or do I want to wait for everything to settle before I start?

Start your cycle... Which method are you using? Fish in or out? What type of filtration are you running?

Of course. You can "seed" your filter with some media from a well established tank. That will definitely speed things up. I can't speak or the chemicals as I've not used them.
Some say it helps others say its a waste of money.
