How do yo vac.... sand ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Easy ! What I rely wanted to see was the guy drag his hand into the sand
and how fast it layed down . I might try this I think it looks nice ill sleep on it .
 
sand it awesome its worth the work. just watch filter intake. especially if its a cannister.
 
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 :thumbsup:

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