they should be fine mate, I've done it in the past at home and at work

Nothing. The silt on the sand is harmless.

I've found sand usually settles over night. Maybe quicker if you have a spare filter yuo could add. You'll need to clean your filter out afterwards as the sand does clog it up a bit.

totally depends on how much you added, what tank size you have, etc etc.
I'm pretty sure when i did the same in my 240L it took about 3ish hours to settle and that was about 25kg of sand

 

[matchstickman47]

there are many rocks i took out to prevent a coatin in sand

umm its 110 litre and about 8 kilos of sand
