A week ago I setup a new 70 gallon Salt tank with live sand. Just yesterday, the tank started showing small white particles floating throughout the tank. As I woke up today to view the tank, the particles are still there and now are lightly coating the glass walls of the tank.

Any idea what this is? The first few days the tank was setup it was crystal clear with no particulates floating about. There are no fish in the tank, just a single small crab.

Thanks in advance!!
