in need of a sand-sifter
I've had to put my tank on hold for a while (due to a little accident in my dad's car that I must pay for.... ) I've been keeping the parameters stable and such but I can't add anything new. Anyway, the substrate is getitng pretty icky with this brown algae and thin lays across the bottom. I think I need a sand-sifter or something. Right now I have 2 clowns, a yellow tang, a whole bunch of snails, hermit crabs, and an emerald crab. I did have an orange-spotted goby, but he just disappeared after a while... I've decided I can put some money towards something to get my substrate looking better. What should I get?

My strawberry conch does a good job digging in the sand.

Do the conch keep the sand clean by actually feeding on the surface or is it by them turning the sand over in their travels?

He also likes to bury once in awhile and turn over sand that way as well. |

Cerith and Nassarius snails will also stir the sand bed if you can't find a suitable conch...
