How to clean Sand???

[juanitoman]

I need some tips on how to clean left over food and caca from the top of the sand in my tank.

Get a gravel vacuum from a LFS. Petsmart has them for cheap. Use it just above the sand....works great.

You could also try a diy one with a bottle and some tubing

How long is the tube for the syphon? Also is a gravel vac attachment on the tube?

There is really no other way to do it, just get close to where you pick up just enough junk while picking up very little sand.
