Hello, All

Been in the hobby for over 15 yrs just started back with a new JBJ 25 all in one. Set the tank up fully on 12/30 added MicroBacter7 and day 2 the tank got cloudy and now day 3 tank is a tad bit better just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

Todays test readings = PH 7.8 Ammonia 0.50ppm Nitrite 0.50ppm Nitrate 5.0ppm Salinity 1.030 Temp 78.5

I know Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate are high just assuming this is part of the cycle maybe I should stop dosing Microbacter7?

The tank only has live sand and live rock.

A little cloudiness is nothing to worry about in a new tank. Especially one that is having bacteria added. I wouldn't worry or do anything different that you're doing. It will subside as the tank cycles.
