Why would the water get CLOWDY?

[the puerco]

I want to know different reasons why a new tank would get cloudy?

It can get cloudy for lots of different reasons. It can just be as simple as your filter needs cleaned or that you need to rr some water and clean the tank. Try the simplest things first.
How old is your tank?

Try running fresh carbon as well as changing your filter.

I started the tank 3 weeks ago

Your tank should have cycled by now. Have you put anything in it yet. If not then your filter system might not be big enough to compliment the tank.

My guess is a bacterial bloom. Do as suggested and change your filter media and just sit back and let nature take it's course. I think it's too early to say your tank is done cycling.
