Sand removal?

[phi delt reefer]

ugh Brad i am in the same boat but my tank is only 40 gallons so i have just been mixing 5 gallons of water at a time and trying to siphon as much as i can, then just replacing the water. I tried running it through filter floss and having the water empty back into the sump but the sugar sand still has fine enough particles to get through.

I'm thinking the only way is to get a kiddies sand play shovel and remove it a scoop at a time.


fyi - go with the carib sea floor special grade... its bigger than the sugar sand but still "sifter" safe.
