The cloudiness you're seeing is the fish waste (ammonia) being converted to Nitrites or the beginning of cycling a tank.

What is tank cycling...

You should take a look at the pinned topics in the begginers forum. They should help you out quite a bit. Also the convertor calculater pinned topic in the chit chat forum should be of some use as well. Here's a link to the beginners pinned topics in case you have any trouble finding it.
