Thx!... I Syphon It Clean Using A Garden Hose, I Drag The Hose Just Over The Top Of The Sand...(works great) As For The Stuff That Gets Under The Sand, I Made a "Rake Type" attachment For The Garden Hose That Works Very Well...
Yea here it is... Its just a piece from my old hair clippers and a zip-tie... Very easy an works great...
Good idea on the hair clipper comb.
To answer about sand...You keep it at a distance so that the sand falls back down but the lighter detrius gets sucked up. A little tricky, but you learn fast. Adjust the water flow rate for the height of the comb helps too. I made mine by melting a large comb and removing every other tooth and siliconed it to a piece of clear 1.25" pipe.
I hooked this to a power head to do gravel with.
