Well, it could be the sand, but it most likely is going through the process of cycling, which can take at best, a couple of weeks, but on the average of 4-6 weeks, depending on what you do to encourage the cycling process. Read up on cycling so you understand what is required and what to expect.

This is normal. The tank is cycling. Don't do water changes, just let it run and it will be fine by the end of the week. No harm to any living animals in the tank will be done by "the fog".
