Best Answer

A cloudy aquarium usually clears itself over time. Cloudy water is most often caused by unicellular organisms (AKA algae or bacteria) floating in your water. If the tank is sitting in the sun, either cover the window or move the tank. If you have lights on the tank, reduce the amount of time they are on. If your filter is running properly, that will also help. Cloudy water is often a symptom of a newer (< 2 months old) aquarium, and will generally clear itself. However, cloudy water is also a sign that something is not right, and may indicate a toxic ammonia problem.
