Default Cloudy water

Milky white cloudy is over abundancy of bacteria in the water, commonly
called a bacteria bloom. Most aquarium people see it when they change their
water and add back missing trace minerals. It's bad because the bacteria
will consume large amounts of O2 however most people just wait it out. Once
the trace elements are gone the bacteria will die. You could also clear it
up with a UV filter.
