If it's been 12 hours and the tank is still absurdly cloudy after having done a 50% water change just last night, it may be wise to up the water changes to twice a day. The cloudiness should have diluted at least a little. Then again with Cycle and Bio-Spira mixing with each other, as CBC said, something funky could be going on... again though, you'd expect several 50% changes would have helped you out there.

so i should keep doing 50% water changes then i was going to be doing 25% daily.
also how long should i wait to test the water chemistry after each water change

i didn't check the water chemistry this morning because i wasnt sure if it would be long enough??

I like to wait at least 24 hours after a water change. If doing daily changes, I'd test right before it's time to do the day's change.
