I assume you moved the filter over as well? Most of the beneficial nitrifying bacteria reside in the filter media and not the substrate/water column.
As for the cloudiness, it may also be an algae breakout. Take a small amount of water and put it into a clear (or white paper) cup. If there is a tint of green, then it may be an algal bloom instead of a bacterial bloom.
