What media is in the Whisper ? Floss might help a bit, it's excellent for water polishing. Carbon may help, though generally I think it is just not necessary at all, for this it may be helpful.
If that's not helping, might try changing all the water, but not all at once. Take out half, refill tank. Take out half, refill tank. Take out half, refill tank, and then one more time, being sure to suck out whatever is left of the algae wafer too. Be sure to match temperatures with the new water and use a good dechlorinator.. I like Prime, myself.
Fwiw, using established tank water doesn't help in terms of cycling. Seeding a new filter with rinsings from cleaning of or media from a filter that is established makes a huge difference, you can cycle virtually instantly that way.
Another thing that might help would be to toss in a few plants, if possible.
Some tap water can look cloudy when it first comes out because it's full of air bubbles. Many taps today have restrictors on them, to reduce water usage and they can cause a huge number of tiny bubbles, but if that's what happened, you would have seen the air bubbles clinging to the sides of the tank, and you'd also notice the cloud slowly clearing over a few hours time as the bubbles rose to the surface.
