AWESOME!!!
Very glad to hear about your success story! You made the right decision!

The cloudiness will go away, a healthy tank is clear. You can speed it up with the clarifying drops to bind the particles together to make them larger and easier for the filter to trap. I personally use micron filters to help with cloudy water at times. Marineland makes a great product called the Magnum, one model hangs on the tank (H.O.T.) and can be easily installed temporarily on the front and used to clear or help clear cloudy water in an hour or so, depends... They have a permanent models that sit on the floor, and you can also put the HOT on the back, if you have room. I also use a larger kind, an Ocean Clear Filters (OCF) brand micron filter is permanently plumbed to my reef, and I occasionally pass the water through it as needed by flipping some valves.
Hate to tell you to spend more money on filters and gear for the tank though.
The drops might do it, water changes might do it also. The drops should only be a couple bucks and they really work right before your very eyes.
Regards
