Hello and Welcome to R2R! I remember that I rinsed my sand before placing in the tank and the water had the same particles floating at the top. I did several rinses before most of it was gone. Once I added water to the tank, I had some particles floating which were then gone after they went into the overflow. Hopefully that's all that you are dealing with.
Thank you for the suggestion. We got live sand so we didn't wash it.

Oddly, this morning it's gone
