Stirring and vaccum super shallow sandbed?

[GOSKN5]

So I hate sand... I always have the hardest time keeping it clean to my (and especially my wife's standards)...

I typically go barebottom on my tanks with the bottom painted white... its gives an appearance of sand and ease of bb

On my new 180 I didnt have the opportunity to do this... I tried some white vinyl on the underside, but it doesnt show through due the reflection (it shows from the top down)

So I decided to do a super thin scattering of sand...just enough to cover the bottom..

Can I regularly stir and even vaccum it?

Any other tips on keeping it clean? Thanks!

Im a firm believer of vacuuming substrates!
