what kind of gravel do you have
do you have live plants? There is
a tendancy for the water to become whitish
and cloudy immediatly after you do a filter
cleaning and a gravel vac but this shouldnt
last longer than 2-4 hours definatly not
longer than a day.. If it goes away in a short
while then its ok if not it could be something
other than just having debris stirred up during
the maintanence change

you are experiencing NTS, or New Tank Syndrome.

ALOT of people quit because of this.

From what i have heard, it is acually bacteria floating around your tank eating all of the fish waste.

I acually just went through this (I probably still am) which you will experience a little ammonia spike, and a nitrite spike.

My water was cloudy for 3 weeks, and it finally cleared up today.

I would dose your tank with NIC (new improved cycle) and it will clear up real fast (None of my LFS's have it)
