Can you post a picture? Might give us a clue as to why it would be cloudy. Any other equipment on this tank? Skimmer, etc? If you have sand, when was it added?

As to the coraline, yes it likely would still have it, cured or not. Curing your rock should not kill your coralline unless you are doing it somewhere like an enclosed garbage can.

what is the easiest way to post a pic on here?

I usually just upload it onto imageshack, take the "direct url" and copy/paste it into the image (click the icon that looks like a picture). I'm sure there are probably easier ways, but it works.

Did you added new live sand to the tank lately? You mentioned using a fluval 405 filter. What type or carbon/media are you using?

It will. Don't be in a rush, and everything will be fine. I'd probably not add anymore fish for at least a month and after a good wter change.
You haven't mentioned yet, I don't believe. Do you have a skimmer?
