If you just replaced the filter, it sounds like your tank is cycling. Wait out the cloudiness that is the good bacteria attempting to colonize. Just google cycling.

Guess I'll just wait it out, too. It's been 5 days since I got this new filter, and the water is el cloud-o!
(not even a small water change - like 10% - will help, huh?)

Hurray for both of you. It can be a pain to wait out the cloudiness, but worth it when you're finally crystal clear.
