Some more info would be helpful. How old is the tank? Is it cycled? How long have you had the clouding.

Odds are it's probably a bacteria bloom. It's pretty common in newer tanks. It's not harmful and usually clears up on it's own in a few days.

I've also had clouding in my tanks when I've clean my gravel. Say I've done a poor job the last time than sometimes the waste would get kicked up in my tank and into the water. I just do a really good gravel vac and then usually within the day the water is cleared again.

All I know

hmmm. have you done anything to the tank recently? Like changed out filter media or anything like that? Maybe using a new water conditioner?

I'd try a really good gravel vac and a big water change. It should clear itself up. I'd forgo any chemicals to clear the water personally.

Cycled and did water change a week ago

You will need to provide a lot more details if you are looking for answers on anything.

More info needed. Tank size, how long has it been running, how many fish & what kind, water change schedule & amount, water parameters, etc.?
