Help how do I fix this sand

Hi my sand is getting really dirty below sand bed and starting to turn brown on top of it

How new is the tank?

Depending on the size of the tank a sand sifting goby or the like will clean the top of the sand. The front glass is tricky as its an area of low/no flow and is getting light bleedoff from the tank. Perfect conditions for cayno. There is also plenty in the sand to fuel the cayno to. A sand sifter might help with that but I doubt it will fully get rid of it. I would get a sand sifter and clean the glass down there manually and it should eventually go away

That looks about right for 9 months.
You can vacuum it but I don't know if you are using the sand as a biological filter.
You don't want to disturb a lot of it

So I picked up a goby this weekend and now the tank is cloudy will it settle down after awhile???
