I have the same sand and its very fine stuff.
I now have a tank that have some areas that are bare bottom and some with sand. I tried placing some rubble around the areas that the sand was disappearing from but then I just had rubble and no sand. Mind you I only have about 12inch's of water and my power heads are right in the middle level wize.

Your system is still relatively new correct? If so, give it some time, after a while as more bacteria & other stuff colonize all parts of the system, including sand, it should stay in place a little better. When I first started up my tank I was a little obsessive about having the substrate 'just so'. No powerhead issues, but I soon found that various critters, Maroon clownfish for one, would rearrange it to their liking, not mine. I now live with whatever the system decides to do with the substrate, as long as there's no sandstorm, which there is not.
