Water

Fine particulates?
Participation from the salt mix solution of Alk/CA?
Bacteria bloom?

Those come to mind.
 
Does the salt label say what Alk & Ca should mix to? If it says much higher than getting lower numbers could suggest that they are coming out of soln. But those numbers don't seem very high to cause a lot of cloudiness.

I'm not familiar with that salt. Some salts I have used mixed to a milky color and it took a few days sometimes for the dust to settle. I quit using that brand (actually, the guy I got it from quit :) )

Is the new water cloudy as you put it in, or does the tank get cloudy after you add the new water?

It looks cloudy as I put it in
 
May need to change salt. What would be the best salt ? I'm trying to do softies and lps.
