Just did a 60% water change on 40 and 55 gallon tanks. I have an emperor 400 and whisper 50 on the 40 gallon. I have an aquaclear 110 and a hot magnum canister filter on the 55 gal. Tanks have been running a week since water change and water is super cloudy on goth tanks. All water perameters are on target. Have plants and driftwood in both tanks, but nothing new. Any ideas whats going on? Never had this problem before.
 
You could try a small UV in line with canister. Or try diatom powder in your canister.
Both will work.

They are still cycling. If you have fish in them keep doing small water changes every other day or so and after a couple weeks it will settle.

that could be an issue in and of itself. however, what substrate are you using? where does your water come from? can you describe the cloudiness more, is it white, milky, lots of particples? I wouldnt use start right...yours already started lol, use prime
