How do I get rid of carbon dust?

[girlina4x4]

I thought I rinsed well...now there is a black coating on my new tank

not much you can really do now, if scattered on the sand I would just stir it in. It won't hurt anything

 

[girlina4x4]

Ah, that really stinks. I stirred it up before aqua scaping and now its settled again....

 

[girlina4x4]

Ok, now Im wondering....If I get a sand sifter such as a diamond goby, will the carbon harm it?
Will the dust deplete with time? Can I vaccum it?

Oh and here is a pic! Not sure why the second pic has a strange reflection but you get the idea

It won't hurt anything, but if you want to speed up getting rid of the bad looks, take the carbon out and do some water changes.

It won't hurt anything, but just vacuum it out. It should be easy.

+1 just vacume it out. I dont think it will hurt a goby. See you changed your avatar again.

it wont hurt any thing its just a little dust. but it can take a week or two before its all gone.
