Default Safe t sorb question

I put safe t sorb in my 35 gallon bowfront after it was recommended to me by a few members. Everytime I do a water change or try to move anything in the tank the whole thing clouds up. I'm afraid to even put fish in it. Did I do something wrong? How do you avoid the dust clouds everytime you do something in the tank?

Safe-tsorb requires to be washed extremely well. If you didn't take the extra time, you may keep getting that. I fill a 5-gal bucket with it up to just about 1/2 full and was that little tiny bit for about 30-min. Takes a couple of hours to go through one whole bag. Take your gravel vacuum and suck out as much of it as you can and then do it some more. Just keep doing that it will subside eventually.
