Pluff,
If you followed canadawest's instructions from an earlier post, then when you have turned you pumps and powerheads back on you would have a milky tank again. If you used a really fine sugar sized or smaller grain of sand as part of your substrate, then you tank could be couldy for as long as two weeks, mine was a little longer due to the size of my tank and sand; and the turbidity of my water.
HTH
so be patient

Pluff,
Yes, but setting up rock in a cloudy tank can be difficult without extraordinary superpowered vision
