Hello I have a hello reef which is a 15 cube and I want to upgrade to a 25 cube. Is there any tricks to getting all my good creepy crawlies in my sand to go into something so I dont lose them all in the switch? I know there will be many in my live rock that will transfer but I just wondered if anyone had some trick to save some from the sandbed. I will set it aside when I drain it out and maybe I can sift some then. Idk. Definitely going to set up next tank with far less sand. Thank you!

I just use a beach toy sand sifter and pick through the rubble, then the leftover sand I rinse :)
