I used a long tube in my tank aimed it at the areas in the sand bed
that I wanted to add more sand. Then very slowly, you pour the new sand
down through the tube. The amount of dust afterwards will be very
minimal.

Just as an aside what if one needed to add more substrate to an

tank? Rinse the begeezers out of it, add a few filters, and pray for

Mine clouded too, almost to the point where I couldn't see in the
tank
at all. I just let my filter run for a few days, rinsing out the
pad a
few times, and it cleared up quickly.
It'll also settle to the bottom, and you'll notice clouds of crud
coming out when you do water changes.
