What do you have for flow in your tank? You may need to increase the flow to get it into the water column and out of the tank. You can also try turkey basting it or stirring it to get it into the water column. I'm not sure if a cleanup crew (something like a sand sifting star or cerith snails) would help. When I had a sandbed in my tank I had that as well, its just a fine dust of detritus (fish poop and rock sloughing) and it ended up choking out the sandbed. I had a heck of a time keeping up with it and eventually gave up my sandbed, its much easier to vacuum up without a sandbed.
