How to sift gravel from clay/sand?

[rosinx]

Mixed the seachchem flourite black with the pre-existing pea sized gravel. I want to get rid of that gravel. Any thoughts on how to?

Thanks

Use a screen that is big enough to let the sand through but not the gravel.

I tried making the holes larger in the net that I have, however some of the gravel still came.. and placed where to find these screens?

Horticultural supply stores will have gravel screens. Lee Valley has a set of three sizes in a SS round frame, they work really well, I have them.
Or you can try to find a sieve in the kitchen ware section of some stores that's about the size of the sand particles and try that. Trouble is most of them will likely be too fine.

I actually did this today with a kitchen strainer and running water while shaking it works well.
