Hi everyone, I did a 40% water change on Saturday. The water in my tank got cloudy on Sunday today it is still a littie bit cloudy. I did have an outbreak of diatoms, But they are receading now. My tank has been cycling for 5 weeks. I did a water test this evening and here are the results. PH-8.4 Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-10. What can I get at my LFS to take care of this problem?

Yes I am running carbon filters on a Penguin power filter 200. I have a 33g tank. Water has been clear until last water change.

Maybe you stirred things up...I see you are still cycling...so you have nothing in the tank yet??
Make sure your carbon is clean, and you can do some small water changes....like 10%

Not saying this is definitely your problem, but it's possible the cause is one (or more) of your fish. I have two Clarkii clowns that like to get down and dirty in the sandbed sometimes.

You might have stirred up your LSB a little when you did your water change.
this is my best guess. if that is the case it shouldn't take long to settle down.
You beat me to the punch Meowzer... :)
