Recomendation for cleaning sand bed

[subbyjay]

What's the best thing to get to clean my sand bed. I have Fiji pink sand and I have a lot of tight spots so vacuuming the sand bed isn't a option. What fish or snail should I get that would do the most work to move sand around. I have a biocube 14 so nothing too big.

Sand sifting stars are nice and I also have a Florida fighting Conch that is cool and does a lot of damage....

Star and possibly a conch would starve. I would suggest some nassarius snails but nothing beats a good vacuum. I still do it occasionally just worried that as my sticks grow out access will be an issue...

nassarius snails and a Sleeper Banded Goby (Bullet Goby) have done the job for me.

Seriously? I thought you upgraded your nano. He has a 14 gallon tank. I thought yours was slightly bigger?:fun4::frog:

Turkey baster and chopsticks. Stir it up before water changes and blow it around between them. Keeps the sand clean for me
