I have hang on filters I think they are so easy to clean and get the job done
,My biggest worry is my fish are big/strong and skiddish sand will fly .
But Ive always been in aww over a sand tank .

yeah they are fine with a sand bottom, I say go for it. just make sure you clean the sand A LOT before you use it

it will save you a huge headache.

Howdy,

You do not have to do much vacuuming other than siphoning detritus off the surface - just get Malaysian Trumpet Snails

That depends on the make. Eheim canisters have their impeller on the top, completely protected. I have never had sand damage my canister.
