I put flourite in my new tank about 2 months ago. I was too stupid and lazy to wash it so I just dumped the bags in. When I filled the tank up it got all murky (as excpected) In about a week it cleared up completely. Now I have live plants in the tank but something when some dust is kicked up (cleaning the tank, fish swimming) It settles on the plants and makes them look all brown and gross. Any ideas how to possibly fix this? When I try to clean it off the plants alot of it does not want to come off and whatever comes off come back :(

Heres some pics...

A couple of good gravel vacs should eventaully take care of it.
 
haha i did the same thing. it took a month to get it all out completely. when you vac it, it get sucked in. so you have to skim off the top. you'll see what i mean when you start doin the waterchanges. good luck. that stuff worked great by the way.
