Keeping Sand Bed clean

[afish70]

Well i had a Diamond Goby for the last couple months and he was doing an outstanding job at keeping my sandbed looking clean. The last few days we have had some really bad storms come through and Bubba(Diamonf Goby) decided he wanted to check his flying ability. Guess what, he cant fly soooo he is no longer with us. My questions is should i get anohter one or is there something better to keep sandbed clean?

I have (2) clowns, (1) Fox Face, (1) Royal Gramma, (1) Sandsifting Star, (1) Cleaner Shrimp and a couple hermits and snails in my 90 gallon reef.

Please let me nkow your thoughts, i want to keep sandbed looking nice and clean.

Just use your finger or a long stick and stir it up once every month or so. (or sooner) Your finger/stick doesn't need to be fed, it doesn't poop in the very same sand you wish to be kept clean etc.

And you can also vacuum the sand bed occasionally.. that what I do. If you're careful you can get the trash w/o sand

If you were happy with what it was doing then get another..

If you get another, put a top on your tank. I had a sand sifting goby go carpet surfing recently too.
