Well as far as water parameters the ph is around a 7.2 and the temperature around 78-80. We feed the fish twice a day with flakes, and maybe 2 times a week bloodworms. The tank stock is 2 jewels,2 blue johanni,geophagus, firemouth, jack Dempsey, green terror, 3 tiger barbs, pleco, dragon goby, small koi and silver dollar. All the cichlids are only around 1.5 inches
Why is my water murky....

As above about the driftwood. I wouldnt bother with carbon though, just a few water changes should do it.
When I added new substrate it was several weeks before the fine dust/sand where filtered out, even after intense rinsing. the gravel was collected from a river though i i doubt the black gravel you bought would have half as much dust in.
I would just be patient, do 2 water changes in a week instead of one and it will sort itself out after a week or 2

ive had this problem in a tank once.. i changed my neon color gravel to black gravel from a pet store.. later did i find out it was the gravel.. when i took it out it didnt get murkey again.. thanks just me
im having this issue now i think it might be the driftwood because my water has a yellow tint to it.
