Agree'd cichlids can be very aggressive and tend to be more aggressive when the water isnt right. I currently have a 110 with a rock aquascape to allow for hiding although most of mine are now between 2 1/2 and 5 ". One thing you need to do is make sure your pH is right (8.0 to 8.2) is best. Also what lake are your cichlids from as the different lakes tend to create problems if mixed. As far as the cloudy water just give it time, took a week for mine to clear when was set up,, that was before fish were added and I was running Eheim Professional II pumps so it takes time.

Research your fish, where their from, water they are use too and aggression etc.
