A cloudy aquarium can be caused by a number of different factors.

The most common three are 1)disturbing the gravel 2)bacterial bloom or 3)algal bloom.

Disturbing dusty or unwashed gravel can cause temporary cloudyness in your aquarium.

If the aquarium is newly setup, a bacterial bloom is likely to occur within a few days. This can also happen if you clean your tank out too thoroughly, or destroy your biological filter.

Algae blooms (green and cloudy water) is caused by too much light and too much nutrients. It can be difficult to cure, and is best dealt with by reducing light and nutrients.
