Cloudy water could be several things. If I were you i would take a water sample to your LFS and have them test it. My cloudy water problem I had once was due to a bacterial bloom. The water was almost white like milk was poured into it. The LFS told me that a UV steritizer would fix that. Im my case it cleared the water up overnight. I know that many on this board don't like the use of a UV sterilizer because it kills good bacteria also, but it did solve my particular problem with cloudy water overnight and has since been very clear.
