    What can I use to move or sift my Crushed Coral substrate? Normally I would pick a sand sifting sea-star. But will it be able to sift into CC?

    An attachment on your siphon hose works for me

    Ya I would have to say the old school cleaning maybe required.
    I know a lot of people who have gone with CC over sand these days. All they are doing is stirring it a couple of times a month
