When it's new it's almost impossible to wash it clean. Unlike regular sand, sugar sand is so fine that it rinses away with the dust.
You can add some live sand to seed bacteria into it. Once the bacteria take over, they sort of "glue" everything together, so you will not have the dust problem.
There is no real need to add a lot of live sand, just a few handfuls to set up the bacteria.
If you just wait a couple of weeks your problem will go away on it's own.

Well, that is what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!
I do like the way it looks and it is going to be a DSB, so I figured it was the best stuff to go with. I have nothing but time. Ha!
