a few answers in point form
1) how can you not wash lapis sand? it contains lot sof powerish yellow thingy which makes your tank cloudy
2) since you have biohome and ceramic rings, its considererd as media liao... try not to add purifying powder. instead got yourself a liquid BB solution to dose into your tank for BB to cultivate faster.
3)dun do any WC now as to not destroy the BB cultivation.
just let it be and i believe after at most 1week the cloudiess will be gone.
hope i can helps you with the 3 points..
anyway, you dun have to say sorry. forums is opened for people to help oneanother if any bros and sis counter any problems

As mention earlier, you should now bulid BB in your water. Just add the biohm and ceremic now to cycle your tank.

I had this experiment before, I add Geo Liquid for plant tank into the tank. When I added the Geo liquid in the water turn very milky but it clear up in one and half day. Not sure it will work for you.
Best regards

dunno if this geo liquid or any water clearer is harmfull to BB or fishes anot.
