My Assassin Snails and Dwarf Chain Loaches have done an excellent job clearing up my pest snail issues, but now I have another problem... How do you remove all the empty shells from a sand substrate? One of my tanks has black sand, so the shell litter really throws off the look... I've tried to siphon them out, but my python's suction power isn't strong enough to lift most of the shells up. I suspect that if I get a more powerful siphon I'll run into the issue of sucking up my sand with the shells.
Any tips/suggestions on the least painful/tedious way to get these shells out?
