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.

How does a penny keep an aquarium clear?

A penny, which is primarily made of copper, can help keep an aquarium clear by releasing copper ions into the water. These ions can inhibit the growth of certain algae and bacteria, helping to maintain water clarity. However, it's important to use this method cautiously, as excessive copper can be harmful to fish and other aquatic life. Regular monitoring of water quality is essential when using this approach.
