Best sand sifter for sand bed

[likwid]

Hey guys,

I am wondering what the best sand sifter would be for my sand bed. I am using Carribsea Arag sand, it isn't quite crushed coral but it isnt fine either. What could I use to keep the sand nice and clean and always as white as can be? I have a bunch of Nass snails but they just stay under and nothing ever sifts the surface.

Thanks

depending on how much sand you actually have conches do a good job of cleaning the sand and so do sand sifting stars but i think conches need a fair bit of room unless their fairly small. i also have a sea cucumber but he doesn't move around all that much but does a good job of a smaller area and just recently decided to split and turn into 2 sea cucumbers hahaha

Diamond Sand Sifter Goby does an excellent job of sifting/cleaning the sand! And they keep the sand low so it is not spred over the corals. I wouldn't go without mine!

Those goby's require fine sand though, dont they? Mine has plenty of crushed coral in it. Anyone know of any places in Calgary that sell sand sifting starfish/gobys/sand dollars?
