Default Newly established tank cloudy water

I just redesigned my 10 gallon tank yesterday. I got new gravel and some live plants. I washed the gravel and put the fish that i had before in the tank. I woke up in the morning and my tank was looking a bit cloudy. Any sugestions? should i worry or just let the tank run its course?

1 Red platy
2 Neon tetras
4 Cory cats
2 Mystery snails

If its completely new, its normal. will clear up in a few days. Could just be leftover dust off the ravel.

It's not actually dust. It's your tank going through a cycling phase. Let it be, it'll go away. Once it does, your tank should be fully cycled.
