So you are saying that you set your tank up like brand new? And you added a brand new filter system along with a new bed(the sand)? Ok, the cloudiness(white) you are seeing is probably bacteria. No need to get alarmed. This is perfectly normal for a newly set-up tank. Your tank will have to go through the cycling phase all over again and will take a month or two to cycle. Be sure to have your water test kits handy and do partial water changes as necessary. Oh yeah, the white will go away in a couple of days. Let us know how it goes.
