Does anyone have a link to buy a tool that will not suck up a ton of sand when cleaning? I have Fiji pink sand and it’s super fine so it gets sucked up a lot. I saw a great tool at a local store. It was a long 2in python tube with an attachment on the end that was a little narrow which creates better suction but didn’t suck up the sand much at all. The person at the store didn’t know where they got it and I’ve searched everywhere. Thanks in advance!

Thought about that. 75 gal tank. 10 fish, 5 large turbos, 3 bumble bees, 3 conch, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 emerald crab. Things overall are great. Just looking for some surface level sand cleaning from tomorrow to time and haven’t liked the opening on the python siphon.
