Cloudy tank, need help!

Is your tank in any direct sunlight throughout the day or are you using a bulb rated for UVA/UVB or for planted tanks. If so that might be what caused your algae outbreak

No it doesn't get any direct sunlight. I made that mistake once, lol It wasen't good. But im going to have to check into the light bulb question though, cuz im not to sure. The lights are only on during the day and then they are turned off at night. Would the light still cause that if I do that?

Yes if it's the wrong king of bulb like for planted tanks or tanks with reptiles that replicate sunlight. If your bulb don't say anything on it the you could leave the light off for a few days and it it starts to clear up then it could be the bulb. Just a thought though
