Tank Water is Foggy

Reefing newb
I don't know if this is the right thread but, I bought a 40 gallon 24 " cube tank a little over a week ago that I want to set up for a reef. About four days ago I added two 20 pound bags of the carib sea Bahamas Oolite sand to it after I let salt water run threw the filter for about a week. Now the water is foggy and will not go away. I let it sit without the filters on for 24 hours and it increased visibility to about 90% but once I turned the filters back on it got foggy again. Furthermore, I added both of the bags of bio-magnet clarifier that came with the sand. I don't know if I should drain the tank and start over or if there is some type of product I could buy to clarify the water. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
The sand usually has particles too small to be filtered.
You might need to do a water change to remove most of the free-floating particles.
