    So i was at the LFS and the guy said that he does not do sand in 14g because they trap alot of stuff in the sand. Currently, i have sand in the biocube, but if i were to keep the sand in it(i like the look of sand in tanks) what would be some good sandsifter(no fish) to sift the sand?? Snail? Invert?

    Nassarius snails stir up the sand.

    there wouldnt be enough food in the sand to sustain it. they need very large tanks to survive long term.
