Should I do a 100% water change so the water is clear?

Do you have substrate? if so did you rinse it well? substrate dust can cling to the glass giving it a murky look happend to me.

I never advocate 100% water changes, its too much and too quick of a change. Try smaller changes on a daily or semi-daily basis to see if that improves your situation.

Oh there always does seem to be some sand on the glass, but I always just clean it off.

Is it simply sand floating around my tank?

I never did rinse the substrate?

If you have fine sand substrate it could be the dust from the sand.
