Can I use a phsyfone hose to clean my sand or is it only for gravel ?
 
I use one to clean my sand beds. Just dont leave it to long in the sand. 2 things, one it can stop the suction and if it doesent stop it will start to take out sand. Works for me.
 
Alright any other methods u use to clean u live sand with ? I just want to stir it up ikno or wat do u recommend as a cleaning crew I have two turbo snails any other good cleaners out there that u kno of ?
 
There's all kinds. First theres a bunch of different types of snails to use each do a little different things. Some for the rocks and wall and some for the sand. Peppermint shrimp are good and some blue and red leg hermit crabs. Maybe even a sand sifting fish like a watchman goby. There's a few different kinds. Remember to get some small snails to for the hard to reach areas. Dont worry they will grow.
