how long does the cloudiness stay in the tank when added water ?

Add water without disturbing the sand ( let it run solely over your live rock) run powerheads to circulate the water and filter . My tank took just over a day too clear up and was crystal clear by day 3. I’ve had friends add sand after filling tank 1/2 way with water. Either way, disturb sand as little as possible and you have clear tank in a day or two .

I wouldn't say its very fine. There is much finer sand this definitely not the finest

Do you have to keep buying sand over time or is this a product that once established it remains?

Don't know. 1st time user. Says on the package it never has to be replaced. It's a beautiful sand but has one conspicuous drawback: it's too fine. In my tank, where the currents are strong, the result is bare spots next to mounds. It won't stay put. I'd recommend something coarser.
