I looked at some of your older posts so I'm not sure what filter you are using on this tank. How many filters are you using and what models?

You should have zero ammonia and nitrIte and nitrAtes under 40ppm or your tank either hasn't been properly cycled or you have too many fish.

Please post what fish you have in the tank today.

Might just be a bacteria bloom if your tank hasnt cycled yet.

Like said above, post your filtration and the fish, it will give others a better idea as to what your problem might be!

cloudy/milky water is almost always a bacterial bloom. the bloom could be because:
1) your tank hasn't cycled completely
2) you're either overfeeding or have too many fish or both.
3) you might not have enough filtration

did i miss anything?

oh yeah, could possibly be from un/under-washed gravel too.

you're probably on the lower end for filtration. what type of bio media is in your canister? i would suggest adding some type of ceramic media if you don't have it already.

i have a well stocked 135 with 2 aquaclear 110's and a rena xp4 with about 5 liters of matrix in the filters. i never had a problem.

Well your stock isn't all that much and they shouldn't produce all that waste, so filter wise i think you should be fine, but maybe consider getting a bigger canister in the future.

I personally have more filtration on my 75 gallon and it stays crystal.. Do you have any bio media in the cascade?
