Best way to get 200 lbs of sand out of my 180 gallon?

[bbortko]

I like the big plastic souvenir cups or from the gas station.

a net to take out most of the sand, then a hose/tube to suck out the rest.

Dustpan works best, but only if you get almost all the water out first.

i would try siphoning it out along with the water into a big rubber made container and whenever the container is going to overflow, wait a second for the sand to settle and siphon or pump the water out of the container. im guessing you'll need more than one container.
The dust pan seems a bit tedious for 200 pounds.

Don't have one and I'm already spending loads to prepare this 450
