How did you add it? Before or after the water? Do you have any power heads running? If so shut them off to stop pushing the sand around, then when it settles turn them back on. You could add a sock to the intake of your filter to stop it from going into and then out of it.
tanks not running yet just filling, i have a powerhead in to move the water around to heat up. sands been in for 4 days i put it in with 6 inches of water in the tank. should i turn the powerhead off?
the best way to do this (sorry in advance) is to rinse the sand crazy well before you put it in the tank. fill with water first, then dump sand in scoop by scoop right at the bottom. Since this is no longer an option, I think the best way is to put a 100 micron filter sock on line somewhere.
If this isn't possible, you can let it settle out, but I prefer to get it out completely.
