ok first off i know i did a big no no by washing my filters, one of the filters i completely washed "NO SOAP" i used hot water witch is a another big no no. The other filter i just cleaned the in' take tube. I used a gravel pump to clean the bottom of my tank. I used water conditioner with the water i replaced, and added "Easy balance" too. The tank now looks cloudy. Do i just have to wait it out or did i do something im going to regret?

I have a 55g with one Oscar and one algae eater.
2 filters one is the stock topfin 55g filter "cheap" lol
the other is a aquaclear 55g filter.
Its not super cloudy but you can see the tent
the easybalance has the nitrate reduction in it
 
tanks will often look cloudy when you clean them. i cleaned mine out about a month ago and it was cloudy. chlorine can also cause cloudiness. unless you used R O water, the conditioner is reacting with the cleaned filter, that has a little chlorine (ok).
 
that sounds pretty normal to me
it s cloudy because all of the dirt and poop that you just mixed with the water
dont worry about it it will settle down in a bout an hour or so
