So, in a spontanious act of stupidity, I added sugar size sand to my currently cycling tank and failed to turn the pumps off to let the sand settle. I should know better, but have never used sand of this grain size before. It has, after a day or so, settled... on everything including my sump, fuge and tank walls, live rock etc. Is there any way to get this cleaned up without having to drain the tank (everytime I wipe it off a surface it creates a similar cloud, although less intense)?
Also, my skimmer is, as expected overflowing with foam when I run it, even after the dust has settled. Any ideas as to when I'll be able to run my skimmer again without it acting up? It's Euroreef 5-2, and I have the output set as low as it can go, which is actually below the water level in the sump. (because of space constraints, I can't raise the skimmer up at all). Well, thanks in advance for any advice!
