Keeping sand bed clean.

[Jpiotro]

Good evening everyone. I have been struggling to keep my sand bed clean in my 30 gallon. Siphoning it doesn’t seem to get everything it only gets about half of all the junk out. Any ideas on what you guys do to keep your sand bed clean or any specific cleanup crew that would help out?

Pistol Shrimp. Our dude literally rebuilds his scape daily. Sand is practically sterile he digs it up so much...but the water always has particulate floating since he is always digging. Any rubble, frags, empty hermit shells or small hermits also get dragged around to build his various dwellings...so there's that too.

Pictures of your tank might help.

I just stir mine every so often with the handle end of one of my glass cleaners
