Too small sand grains

[doliver]

I have 60 lbs of CaribSea Aragamax sugar-sized Oolite sand in my tank, but the grains seem to be too small and light because the currents from my return and powerheads tend to blow it around. Some natural shaping of sand bars from the currents is nice, but there always seem to be little dustups and grains floating around in the tank.

Is there any solution for this without changing out a good deal of the sand? Would it do any good to add some larger grained sand on top, or will it just work its way to the bottom and leave me in the same situation?

you can add larger media over the top and it will help. Also how long has the media been in the tank? it will settle down over time (a month or so)

i just put bigger grain in my tank and its still flying around as well. I'd just wait it out.
