Re: cloudy water???
Probably just debri in the sand... did you wash it out thoroughly??? A bacteria bloom would only occur when there are excess amounts of ammonia, e.g. a fish dieing and rotting, not sand. If you want to be 100% sure do a quick water param check, if the levels are high, bacteria bloom, if not sand stuff.

Re: cloudy water???
It looks more like the sand wasn't cleaned good enough, You can do a large water change, filling it slowly then wait 24 hours to see if it had cleared up. I have had them look worse than that, and would clear up after a few days, but when I rinsed the sand a lot it would come out clear with the first filling of water.
