Okay, @Reeflix As promised, here's the shopping list needed to construct your very own Styx's Sand Sifter 3000!



...and for the deluxe model with foam grip:


Note that, when making this, you will have to cut the inside of the scooper handle to allow the dowel to fit. You'll see what I mean when you have the components in front of you.

Lessons learned, post construction:

1) Use weld on or loctite instead of gorilla glue clear grip. Tape it tightly during cure time (remove tape later, duh)

2) Cut notches into both the scooper and dowel and reinforce with zip ties


60% of the time, it works every time!
Happy Reefing!

I feel like this is a sales pitch I would see either on YouTube or one of those 5-star Amazon ads :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
