Help with cleanup crew!!!

[TheHuff]

I have a 3 Gallon nano reef set up, it has finished cycling, been uo for about a month now, with 4 pounds of live rock. My current cleanup crew is: One Zebr leg hermit, One Scarlet Leg Hermit, one Turbo Snail, and 2 Blue Lege hermits. The rocks are all my cleanup crew seems to worry about, however my Substrate (aragonite) is getting incredibly dirty. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for a cleaner that would spend most of its time on the substrate?

Thanks in advance...

Nessarius snails are good to have. But thats not for cleaning the surface.

It sounds like this is a new tank? I have a feeling you are just going through the diatom phase. Is the sand kinda brownish/orangish? It will pass soon. Don't worry. Next up is the algae phase. Fun!
