theres many products you can buy to solve this, but before you buy anything check the following

- what are the conditions of the water -- pH, nitrites, nitrates, ect...

- was you tank set up for a good amount of time, with clear water, before it started to become cloudy

- have you recently added any new fish, or added any new decorations

-did you recently add any new gravel

if you added new gravel- it could be makin the water cloudy if it wasnt washed out prior to being put into the aqua.

if you added new fish, perhaps they have been producing more nitrites and nitrates than your bio- can handle right now.

if you water contions are above normal your water can become cloudy

all of these problems can be quikly helped by doing a 50% water change

then 10% water changes every day, to every other day, after that.

until the water clears.

if after a week or so, the water is still clear, then perhaps go to your LFS and get a product to clear the water

if your water conditions are not out of control, and the water just seems to be cloudy, it shouldn't be hurting your fish. it just isn't good to look at....

the water changes should help alot.

I agree, water changes, definitely. White clouds are normal in a new aquarium and will dissipate on their own. Adding chemicals can actually make the problem worse and may poison the fish.
