Do they sell or make a sand filter? could I use a hybrid under gravel system? I'm havin' trouble keepin the sand clean...any suggestions would be appreciated
Sand is usually too small for an undergravel filter( which are a pain to clean anyway) and no such sand filter that I Know of. I personally use a sleeper goby to clean my sand and he does an outstanding job on the upper layers and is gorgeous to boot.
I also use a regular gravel vaccuum on my sand, however I do notice that a small tube will have a greater suction than the larger gravel tubes....so if you have (for example) a piece of driftwood which is sloughing off layers leaving things looking dirty, a smaller gravel tube cleans it up nicely.
