Is this tank cycled? If not, I urge you to put your platies back in the 2g and fishless cycle your tank.
Is your water cloudy, or just the glass? Sometimes after a water change, I have lots of tiny bubbles on the glass that make the tank look a little cloudy.
You may also have stirred up dust from your gravel if you didn't wash the gravel before adding it to the tank.
Otherwise, it sounds like a bacteria bloom. This usually occurs in a cycling tank and will go away with time.
