this is normal, u said u just set up ur aquarium and its cloudy, its supposed to be it will take a couple of days to clear up (mine took about a day) its really nothing to worry.

btw u might want to look into purchasing a skimmer or UV Sterilizer, it will help u a lot in the future

if you are going to have a reef, then stay away from a UV steriliser, kills all good free floating phytoplankton as well as bad stuff.
