Official WASABI Moderator: Dear Bibo, you can rinse sand and re-use it, but it must be cleaned with no detritus and malm remaining in it, otherwise, it's easier to replace it with new sand.
I like to use a magnet glued to fishing line to magnetically remove soil from the sand. The aquasoil I use is magnetic and so it sticks to the magnet, but the sand doesn't.
My tank is filled with staghorn algae, please suggest me few tips or make one video to deal with staghorn algae..I have watched all your algae related videos, bt staghorn is hard to remove from plant, please help
Official WASABI Moderator: This is caused by excess or imbalance of nutrients in the water. The ideal nutrients are: 10 to 25 mg/l nitrate (NO3), 5 to 10mg/l potassium (K), 0.1 to 1mg/l phosphate (PO4) and >10mg/l magnesium (Mg). Perform a consistent 50% water change every week to remove the staghorn algae. This prevents the accumulation of nutrients and other substances. Other factors that contribute to this type of algae are: insufficient CO2, insufficient water circulation, and too much (or strong) lighting. Use a lot of Amano shrimp to get rid of this algae. If that is not in your budget, use Seachem Excel instead and locally dose it with a syringe directly on the affected areas.
I never use cosmetic sand, but i have a project in my mind to use it. Now i know how to clean 😊😊 Great video
Official WASABI Moderator: We would love to see a photo when you build a future tank with some sand :)

How to prevent shrimplet to suck up .?
So you don’t recommend cleaning and rinsing the sand that was siphoned and return it back in the tank?

Official WASABI Moderator: Nice trick, does it might take a long time with a small magnet for a large tank?
@@NORIaquaCh I only have a 60cm aquarium, but it is quite a fast method.
