If algea is growing on the sand you might need more circulation, if not (and this is very controversial) stir the sand manually.

If you have a DSB I wouldnt stir it myself. We could use more info as in how long has the tank been setup, size of tank, lighting, flow, filtration and are you useing RO/DI water or tap water, it sounds like it might be diatoms.
