Did you properly cycle it?
It's likely a bacterial bloom, if so, it's harmless, it just doesnt look nice. It will become clear again in a few days

we have done lots of water changes because of high ammonia levels but the filters are doing there job now. just worried about ph level and cloudy water. thankyou

As i said above, the cloudy water will go in a few days. A good natural way to raise ph is to add some crushed coral into your filter.
Again, did you cycle it properly???

Yeah sound a little like the tank was not cycled propley. Is it a white cloudy colour, if so its a bacterial bloom. Nothing too much to worry about. Will clear in a few days.
