I just placed 30 kilos of Coral gravel in my tank, I cleaned it several times before putting it in my tank. When I siphoned my tank with a gravel cleaner, I got lots of fine white debris out of the tank, after a week, I siphoned my gravel and I still got the same white debris. Same with the third time that I siphoned my tank. Will this fine white debris ever run out ? Does the Gravel dissintegrate ?, hence I never run out of this stuff or this will end sooner or later ?

crush coral will always leave white powder when gravel vacuuming. ive had mine for years no matter how good you clean it. its just breaking down. it does buffer the water
