What kind of fish and shrimp do you have? Some gobies and pistol shrimp can keep the sand bed stirred up.

Could be a bacterial bloom. If so a UV sterilizer, Ozone, & skimmer are the only things that will help get rid of it without water changes.

Diamond Goby's are constant sand sifters. It could be that he is kicking up your sand, also. I'd try to buy that skimmer soon or perform more frequent water changes.
