Hazzie or cloudy water

[Roller]

How do I clear Hazzy or cloudy water in new 55 gal tank...I`m using a double hang on filter ?

How long has the tank been running? This is often a bacteria bloom and will clear up by itself in a few days.

one week

What is the substrate and elaborate on the filter. A picture would help.

If it's only been a week it most likely is a bacterial bloom. Just be patient, It can take a week or so to clear.

Don't try to clean your tank or change anything it can prolong the problem. If you need to do water changes to keep your ammonia or nitrites low, then do that.
