Siphon as part of a water change. Should be easy enough, especially if you have a decent size tub you can siphon into.
i'd prolly five gallon bucket it lol, would i do a straight tube to siphon it? also skynoch, where'd you get your sand? i like it i need something larger grain that doesnt stick to the rays and is a natural light color... or maybe should i go dark with the scobinas and a red aro?
Siphon as much sand as possible, along with whatever water comes along, into bucket #1.
Carefully pour water from busket #1 into busket #2 down to the level of sand.
Dump remaining sand from busket #1 into garbage can.
Pour water from busket #2 back into tank.
Repeat.
