Don't worry about it.... The dust will settle out after a few days. The last system of mine that I put Hydroton in was cloudy for almost a week, and then it cleared up wonderfully.

you can clean the dust out by whipping an egg or two up and adding to the tank.. that will suspend the particles.. i've also seen folks put a sock over their growbed drains for a few days to filter out the "dust"

Whipping an Egg? Like an uncooked omelet? Do you put that in the tank or in the flower bed?

Not sure but, I think that only works with the egg whites

right in the tank, shells and all, uncooked.. the egg whites will suspend the particles, the shells will slowly dissolve and add calcium (carbonate i think) the yolks, eh... no benefit that i know of but nothing that hurt my system either

Will the fish eat it? I'm going to have free range chickens in my back yard too. I like where this is going.
