Have a question... I am into the 5th day of the 7 day Stability cycle for my 90g tank. In the past 2 days my water has gotten real cloudy... is this normal? I put some rescue fish (Oscar 6", Geo 3.5" and a Bumblebee cat 5") into the tank on the 3rd day of the doseing. I had my water checked by my LFS 1 day after introducing the fish and every thing was fine... so far.
 
I know... the kid I got my driftwood from was didn't want the fish anymore and was going to give them to the LFS... I had to jump on it. I am running a cascade 1000 and an Emperor 400 for filtration. I think I might do a 20% water change tommrow and see what happens.
 
wth is a 7 day stability cycle?

cycling takes a couple of weeks on a brand new setup system!

Follow the instructions to the "T"...I'd personally start the series over and resist adding anything, fish, decor, or what ever.
Get your own test kit and learn how to use it...trust your own results, not the place that sells all those "fixes"...
and please research the "nitrogen cycle", as it applies to the Aquarium.

Once you understand the nitrogen cycle, you'll understand why your water is cloudy...
This is the most fundamental and important info for fishkeeping you need
