do you have any wood in your tank? if yes, wood will leech tanins which causes the water to be brown.

is just milky and not clear water, let the sediments settle for a few days and u will have clear water again

Just like what bro boxedfish said it will settle down in a couple of hours to a day or so. Also keep your filter running it will help as well

it needs time to settle down bro.Those brown thingy cause by the soil. Try to minimise the water flow.
