Hi,

Quite a bit of detritus have accumulated on the top of my live sand and I was wondering what to do. Do I try to gently vacuum it out? Do I scoop it out? Do I mix it in the sand so I don't see it no more?

Thx in adavance!

Vacuum it gently. A smallish siphon hose that sucks it off of the sand without disturbing the sand too much would be ideal.

Would you please get rid of that TOS Cult thing?
On account of my striking physical similarity in appearance to Aleister Crowley, I have enough problems with weirdos in airports already. LOL

NASSARIUS ILYANASSA Snails keep mine stirred up and clean. Here is a link to the guy I got mine from....He is local to me but might ship to your location if you can't find any closer. http://cgi.ebay.com/50-LIVE-NASSARIU...QQcmdZViewItem

I have 125 of them in my 55G reef. They are reef safe, Burrow in the sand and do a great job at keeping it stirred and clean.
