How old is your tank? Mine was cloudy for the first month at least. Cloudy water can also be caused by a bacteria boom. Are you cleaning the gravel every time you change the water. If you fuss too much with the gravel you will create a bacteria boom which will make your water cloudy. I do 20% water change weekly but only clean one section of the gravel I roughly break the tank in thirds. Before I was cleaning all the gravel every week and had a constant bacteria boom.
