You "ran and checked" everything for 5 days, but did you cycle the tank? Without cycling the tank, the ammonia levels will fluctuate and you will have issues with cloudy water and possibly even fish die offs. Just having clean water sitting there before adding the fish does not establish the bacteria colony needed to run a successful aquarium.
