tHEcONCH Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 There isn't really anything that is good at sifting sand AND suitable for a small tank like an RSM - so I use a brittle (tiger) star. There is one for sale in Organism at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I used to have a rainsford goby that was pretty good at shifting sand just make sure you have fine sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Nothing other than vacuuming is going to keep your sand clean. What goes in must come out so all you would be doing is converting one type of fish pooh to another type. Your sand bed should either be very shallow (less then 1-2cm) so you can clean it yourself. Or very deep (10cm+) so it will work as a DSB. Personally I would recommend leaving sand out completely, at least for a few months until the tank has matured a bit.
