Sounds like you didn't rinse out the sand thoroughly before putting it in
the tank. I recently had to redo my tank so I bought all new sand (60 lbs
Fiji Pink and 20 lbs Live Sand). Rinsed the crap out of it outside in a
bucket (not the live sand) and all the foam rinsed out in the bucket.No foam
in the tank. It was still cloudy when I added the RO/DI water but only
slightly.
The foam and the cloudiness will clear. Give it a few days.
Once your SG and temp is where it needs to be, add your live sand and rock.
