I have added my live sand and live rock to my 75 gal on Sunday. The sand or fine silt or “powder” makes the tank all cloudy when I adjust or move the live rocks around. After the tank clears up, the rock and sand has a thin film layer of “dust or powder” sand over everything. The deep sand bed also has a couple of layers of the “fine black” sand. I made 3 dumps of live sand. I guess when the first layer settled it created a layer and when I poured the other bucket, it made a couple of layers.
Will this powder or silt sand/mud eventually settle under the coarse sand? Or should I vacuum it?
