Sand sifters/cleaners?

[Draco]

In having a hard time vaccuming my sand, and I have a 9 gal nano cube

 

What's some good sand sifters/cleaners? Really good cleaners?

Narsarius snails

Cerith snails also will get into the sand bed.

Agreed

[Draco]

thanks. I have several Narsarius snails of different sizes. They don't seem to move much and I can see the sand is still dirty.

Siphon the sand a bit more if it's that bad.

[evanski]

Is it just me or is it hand to find a nassarius under 1" nowadays? I have a 2G Fluval and really cannot accommodate one the size of a walnut!

Evanski I got a bunch of tiny ones from Reefcleaners. Try them?

 

I do t have a lot of room to siphon.

Thanks for the info...but I need a grand total of ONE! Shipping would make it one expensive gastropod!

 

I have been to about 6 local LFS and came up empty.

[Draco]

How about posting an ad in the traders forum from someone local?

[evanski]

Yeah...but I will probably just nab one when I see it at the LFS. I did get a dwarf cerinth who went nose down into the sand and haven't seen him since. I have this fantasy that he is just churning the entire sand bed all by himself!

sand sifting star

[Tochtli]

Don't get a sand sifting star, those tend to die off rather quickly and they also eat all the beneficial little bugs in your sanded, the bugs that do the cleaning and breakdown.

[hypostatic]

snails don't do jack.

 

I'd recommend a sand sifting goby. I loved mine... until it decided to jump.

 

I've also heard good things about sand sifting cuc's
