I'm having a lot of trouble getting the last bit of sand out from between the rocks, and the sand has caked along where the rock meets the glass so it has to be chipped out. So for the next little while it looks like I'll be blasting with a power head and siphoning

You will likely have to do this on a regular basis anyway as the debris will tend to collect in a certain area of the tank with the flow.
