Does that work well with live sand...I used to have another siphon and it always gets clogged with sand.VERY ANNOYING

No clogs let sand rise half way up the tube then lift tube out of the sand and it will fall back onto the sandbed. there is also a clamp on it so u can adjust the flow commin out.

I see how the siphon comes in sizes also does size really matter?does it affect performance?!?
