The tank cycled for only a few days during the process a broke my 36 gal and had no other spot for my fish lol. THe tank cleared up in a week but then became cloudy and is only getting worse. I have 5 fish there all small and i feed them about once every 3 days.
Three things you have to test for:
Ammonia" (toxic fish waste) is converted by bacteria into
"Nitrite" (toxic as well) then converted by a second type of bacteria into
"Nitrate"(basicaly harmless in low concentrations) that gasses off in the Aquarium.
Btw How did you know the tank was cycled if you don't have test kits?
Anyways high ammonia and high nitrite are what causes cloudy tanks most of the time, I don't think your tank is cycled yet.

Do yourself a favor too, and invest in some water testing kits, they are important with maintaining fish tanks!
