Cloudy tank

My 2 week old cycling tank is cloudy and the filter is acting funky, the water is really murky, so i did a 20 % water change. Should i just wait now?

how big is your tank? with smaller tanks you can do a complete water change. there is probably a bacteria up-spring, which is the cause of the cloudy water. if you live near a wal-marts or something, even petsmart and stuff should have it, get some Cycle, it puts good bacteria in the water which helps keep the bad stuff down (its what I use and have cut down on having the cloudy water). Also your filter could need to be changed if it's acting funky, it may be full.

its a ten gallon US and i do have cycle, but is it safe to put in? it says only once a week?

You can add Cycle and most other liquid bacterial supplements everyday if you want. I'm not sure why they only recommend once a week but it may be more for an established tank and you add some weekly to keep the filters healthy.
Personally I use Sera Nitrivec and add a double dose each day for a week. Then stop using it. It gets the filters going pretty well.

I think my filter is screwy, It occansionaly will spit out this weird cloudy residue that my fish stupidly eat up, it stops if i adjust the media but it occasionnally is the source for my cloudyness.

Sounds like the motor could be dodgy. Has the motor been cleaned? Try taking the impellor out and washing it. Quite often that will fix the problem. If not I would be looking at a warranty claim depending on how old the filter is.

If your tank is already cycled, you can probably take apart the filter and clean it.

what if it isnt cycled? it is cycling.

If it's still cycling, then I would suggest to let it go. I doubt that the stuff coming out of the filter can be bad for your fish, but I'd keep a close eye on them anyway.
