i forgot to add...alot of the debree looked to be heavy amounts of salt floating around in the tank....which is causing it to look really cloudy

If it's been set up for 2 weeks you shouldn't still have any cloudiness. It should have settled out within several hours.

Generally if it remains cloudy it's because there's too much flow and it's kicking up the sandbed, or there's not enough flow to keep the water turning over properly.

What do you have to trap the detritus? Sponge, filter floss, micron bag?

Moving the rocks around and messing with it could have kicked up a lot of the crap that settles over time. I would give it a day and it should settle back down.... if not check to make sure a PH didn't move when you were shuffling the rock around and is now blowing into the sand. Thats all I could think would be causing it.
