sand sifter.

I am looking for a good sand sifter for my 180 with south down sand.

Any Ideas.

Tongan Fighting Conch

 

[Huhhhhh]

These guys are sand sifting maniac's. Mine only take's care of about 2 feet worth of my 6 ft long tank though. I'm going to get another one for sure.

I like Cucumbers. I know some people are scared to death of them. I am on my fifth one, not from anything bad either. My GF got me a really cool pink and black one from Scott yesterday. They clean really well and poop rabbit nuggets that turn back into sand later.

I agree with Huhhhhh, thats my best sifter and he doesn't deposit sand onto corals, I also have fighting conchs, cucumbers and 25,000 gph of flow I think that really helps the most, strong flow, just enough to where the sand blows slightly, its a fine line.

Try the Tonga Nassarius snails that scott sells. They really turn the sand over every feeding.

Oh yeah I forgot about those, very good at mixing up the sand.

LOL, Chris, I have your original cuke!!!! Get the Nassarius but make sure they are the grey shell and not the Obselettas with the black shells.

My Cucumbers seem to disapear. I think I have threee in the tank and never seen a single one.

I really would like to add a fish. My tank is looking a little sparce right now since I had three fish jump last year.

Pink or Orange spot gobies would be good sand sifters. why not put egg crate on the top?

I am worried about the loss of light. The other reason is all the fish seem to be doing well and then.......JUMP.
