How long has your tank been set up? What fish do you have in there?
need more info to help you with this as a PH drop will not do this. Test your water for ammonia nitrates and nitrites. Sounds like a mini cycle to me.

Look It Up
Have you tested your tap water for PH? Test your tap water's PH right out of the tap, and then let it sit out for 24 hours and test it again. My tap water is 8.2 out of the tap; after it sits out it settles down to 7.2 which means for water changes I need to let the water sit out for at least a few hours (an air stone helps to get the PH down faster) before putting it into the tank.
The PH change shouldn't cause cloudy water. Have you changed filters? Is it a new tank? Are there fish in there?
If it's a new tank with fish and you didn't cycle it before hand, read the link in my signature that says "new tank with fish;" also read the one that says "what is cycling."
