I assume it's a white or milky color cloudiness. That is the result of a bacterial bloom in the tank, probably from a heavy water change and stirring things up when you moved the tank. The best course of action is going to be small daily water changes until the bacteria re colonize the surfaces of the tank and then they will no longer be in the water and of course the water will appear clear again. Just a little patience and a hands of approach will usually solve this in no time.

There are cloudy water purifiers that you add to your tank and the cloudiness will go away. Try the one with the best rating at petco or petsmart.

I wonder if you are experiencing a mini cycle,as you would have lost alot of good bacteria cultures when replacing the fiter and cleaning the plants. Check your ammonia levels to see if they are elevated.
