First I would check to make sure that when you turn on your power heads that it is not pointed where it would hit your sand and cause it to blow it around but also check to see if it is hitting the glass and deflecting off of it they may also cause it. what kind of tank do you have and how many gallons?

did you rinse the sand before you put it into your tank? That can help get out a lot of the fine stuff that is easily disturbed.
