how long does the cloudiness stay in the tank when added water ?

Add water without disturbing the sand ( let it run solely over your live rock) run powerheads to circulate the water and filter . My tank took just over a day too clear up and was crystal clear by day 3. I’ve had friends add sand after filling tank 1/2 way with water. Either way, disturb sand as little as possible and you have clear tank in a day or two .

I wouldn't say its very fine. There is much finer sand this definitely not the finest

Do you have to keep buying sand over time or is this a product that once established it remains?

Don't know. 1st time user. Says on the package it never has to be replaced. It's a beautiful sand but has one conspicuous drawback: it's too fine. In my tank, where the currents are strong, the result is bare spots next to mounds. It won't stay put. I'd recommend something coarser.

Pretty good, but three out of five orders came bone dry and I believe the sand needs to be wet in order to have ”live” bacteria in needs to be wet. I think that it can’t hurt if you receive it properly and wet, but I wouldn’t rely on it cycling your tank alone.
