Blue Z Reef Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 More flow and it won't settle as much so your filtration can take care of it. Otherwise siphoning is the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanmike01 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Try a power head a bit lower to help keep it in the water column and get it filtered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 More flow, manual removal with gravel vac. Be sure to pinch the line if your sand is fine or the detritus and the sand will all get siphoned out. I am done with sand personally, had a really rough time with phosphates until I siphoned most of the sand out. It is hard to keep on top of. There are many, many successful tanks that use sand, just not me anymore for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
