Will these snails help stir up a sand bottom?

they burrow down to eat the nasty snails in my tank. have not noticed them stirring up the bottom, I enjoy watching them

The snails bury themselves and come up at night and after I have cleaned the tank. But they don't seem to actively dig through the sand.

No - but they didn't work for our tank. The died pretty quickly and weren't able to help with our snail population. We were disappointed.

It seems that would work. After awhile you may have to reposition sand a bit ..... granulated shell may be something you like better than gravel :) i got pebbles from home depot.. not a typical aquarium gravel and its pretty

No, it would not catch sand (at least not fine beach sand) or coffee grounds. The mesh is too large for that. It's a pretty standard mesh size, if you find similar types of strainers in your local stores, they all seem to have the same size mesh.

i have not used this in sand, so i have no idea how it would handle in sand--sorry.

I have a class C motor home and have used them on gravel and packed dirt without an issue. They might sink a bit in softer sand.

They work pretty good. If the sand is real soft and fluffy it's a little more work, but this wagon is much better than any other I've tried for going through sand.

Sandy here so no problem, but you may have to dig out the rocks in your location. Legs are just tubing.

Sure it will. It has the 3 different settings you can have the water flow high up in the water or spread throughout the middle or have it at the bottom. I would say with the sand you would be better with the middle or higher setting.

Yes.If you research the manufacture there is some great info.Also if there is a lot of sand in the water it could affect the filters,you could look at installing sand filter

Yes if your tank is not already cycled it wont have the beneficial bacteria necessary to handle the bio-load in the "live" sand.

That sounds like too much to me. I'm using 2 700/800 koralias in my 55 reef tank and still have some issues with sand turning into a mountain in sections of my tank but I get excellent movement. My tank contains SPS and LPS corals.

They should do great, just get 3 or 5. They will eat the leftover food and other snails.

Only if the sand is hard. The wheels are bigger, but it's like dragging a coach if the sand is deeper.

As long as the bottom is flat and you have a good pump and sand filter you should do really well.

It should, provided the sand doesn't fall back down the hole as fast as you drill it. You might try wetting an area and trying to see if that makes it easier to drill.

I dont have sand here but it has large wheels but they are not fat. It could be a chore pulling through deeploose sand.
