How to have a white sand bed without effort?

I’d like to share how I’ve kept my sand bed clean and white without the need to actually take care of it in person. Any suggestions and comments are welcome!

Simply put you cannot.

Don't add any water to the tank

It will rarely be pure white but will improve as tank ages. Low white light intensity and use of chemipure blue will help as well as cleaner snails and blue leg hermit crabs

BB in my 120. Sand in my 45 frag.
10 nassarius snails and a diamond goby keep mine clean plus enough flow.
Ironically I have no issues with my halides vs my old T5 system.
Keeping nutrient levels in check are a key part though.

Beautiful tank. Great video skills too. I found that rather calming. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing tank. Beautiful fish and coral with so much dedication to detail. Thanks for sharing the video of your tank!

My solution: These guys since they love to stir and sift the sand to eat and love to burrow. Not 100% sure but i think these guys are Diogenes pugilator.

They are great clean up crew!
