Mine finally settled, but the minute I move the stuff around at all my tank is a big mud mess again.
 
Tony, I went thru hours of rinsing 3 bags of fluorite myself and was still cleaning my Emperor HOT every other nite for nearly 2 weeks as the real fine dust was still being sucked up by it. I highly advise you check whatever filtration you have hooked up. I had a haze in my tank for over a week as I kept cleaning my filter.

All in all, my plants are doing ok in my non-co2 setup so I would say it was worth all the work. No LFS in a 50 mile radius had Eco Complete, so I stuck with fluorite as I didn't want to pay for shipping.
 
Should I try a gravel vac? I use a python and I don't want it getting jammed up with the actual gravel part of the flourite
 
I tried it and I got a bunch of murky water, but its like there is no end in sight. I can't believe I've never seen a thread like this one here until AFTER I got mine :?
