I just filled my tank today with water from my tap (city water). Why is it so cloudy?

Give it a few hours, it should clear up. Every time I do water changes my water looks cloudy for a while
 
Thanks guys. I was worried my rocks or something were a problem. I am new to this hobby. I used Stability by Seachem too, but it was like that before I added it.
 
Looks like you have sand as substrate. Just give it a few hours and it will go away.
 
probably microbubbles, water travels a long way in pipes to reach your sink
i get it when refilling my tank but it goes away in 5-10 mins

if it stays for a few hours then it's probably your sand being stirred up
 
is the tank even cycled?
 
nice tank the leds really make it look sleek and clean the cloudines will disapate by tomorow or if not established 2 to 3 days at which time you should use a tester feeders if they survive your ready for fish :)
