Hello red...
The water in a newly established tank, will be cloudy for several weeks if not longer. I would recommend using a dense poly fiber in your filtration equipment. Acurel and HBH have a good product. The heavier fiber wil attract and hold the particles from the substrate and any plant and fish material that float around in the water and cause cloudiness.
Vacuuming the tank will also disturb the substrate and cause cloudiness. So, if you have a planted tank, stop vacuuming and simply remove half the tank water every week or two. This helps maintain a level water chemistry and clear the water.
