Getting Rid of Sand Dust?

[joebob7]

How do I do it?! I put 40 pounds in my newly set up 55 gallon tank and it's been in for a month. But every time i try to move the rock the sand dust clouds up the whole tank for a whole day!
I have tried running filter pads and carbon but they don't seem to do any good.
Also I don't want to run too much filtration because I'm waiting for the tank to spike its levels.

umm dont move your rocks,,,,, really thats the only reason its doing it,, its getting kicked up in the motion. the only thing you could do is turn everything off when you want to rearrange the rocks and wait a few hours for it to settle siince you dont have anything in the tank. and have you been cycling it for a month??? it should be done by now,,,,

Well the sand also clouds up if it's moved by the powerheads so i have turned them off for now. Also it hasn't been cycling for a month because the rock was all cured and there isn't enough die off to start a cycle.

Long siphon tube. With the correct size the sand will climb up the siphon part of the way and the dust will continue into the bucket.
