It depends on what's making it cloudy.

If it's white or whitish then it's most likely a bacterial bloom. This is normal in a newer aquarium, or when you make significant changes to an established aquarium. The bacteria grow like crazy until the food supply is exhausted, then they should become balanced and the cloud should go away. If it fails to go away you most likely do not have a stable system. Try feeding less or making fewer water changes.

If it's green then it's usually algae. Algae indicates and overabundance of nitrates. This means you need to change the water more often and/or feed less food.
