Streetwise Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks to suggestions from @Daniel, @ForestJenn, and others, I finally picked up a set of sifters. I just used them to separate sand from gravel, for some mixed substrate that I removed a while ago. The sand was still a little wet, so it needs to dry before I shake it thru. I have more plans for these. Edited November 18, 2020 by Streetwise 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I bought my set originally to separate eco-complete substrate from sand I had in a previous tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 It takes three grades to separate the layers. I will not be using the mixed sand again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 After much drying, stirring, shaking, and pouring: Now for some vacuuming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenman Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 You're talking substrate sifters and I'm thinking Geophagus or Malaysian Trumpet Snails, but you're talking about the inanimate kind. I far prefer the living types. They may not be as precise, but they're more fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
