Hi guys,
My 100g is running for two weeks with dry rocks (cured) and dry sand.
RODI at tds 0, red sea coral pro.
tank is cycling, ammonia reads 0, nitrite is high, about 5ppm, didnt check for nitrate.
for about 4 days now the tank is very cloudy and the water has a greenish yellow hue to them.
the pics below doesn't really reflect the true magnitude of the problem.
Is it something that needs to be addressed or should I just leave it until the cycle is completed?

thanks!

Forgot to mention that the skimmer is constantly on and the lights are off.
I have no idea what's going on!

Likely a bacterial bloom, nothing I'd worry about and it should clear up as your system continues to establish.
