there is a carpet of dust on everythiiiinnnngggg, I rinsed it last night with my friend until the water that the sand was in was crystal clear, I put all the sand in a bucket, and overflowed the bucket, while sifting the sand around, did that for an hour

It should settle out in the substrate if is “dust”.
It can also be cloudy if the tank is very new.

Sometimes I blow the sand like a hurricane to keep detritus in the water for removal.

Overnight, it settles down.
