I added a 20 pound bag of rinsed "Seachem Meridian Oolitic Aragonite" sand to my sump. this clouded the whole tank for 48 hours, getting pretty clear now but the live rocks are covered with a fine dusting of this stuff. Will this be a problem in the long run or will the coraline algae cover it over eventually. I'd rather not dust them off because this will cloud the tank again won't it?
