Need Help with sand bed

[swimfree]

Our aggresive fish tank gets so dirty on the sand bed. Does anyone know of any sand sifting fish for a predator tank?
We tried a 6 inch golden face(dome) gobbey. All the fish chased it and tried to eat it.
Tank size 185
Livestock:
Paddle fin Wrasse 6-7
Humuhumu trigger 4 in
Clown Trigger 4in
Undulate Trigger 4in
Sargent Tang
Purple Tang
Flame Angle
Spinny Puffer
Bird wrasse
Black Back butterfly
Spotted toby
Juvenile Emperor
Morray eel

try some large hermits...they keep mine clean

if it chased that large of a gobie, hermits would be fast food ><.

im suprised the eel doesnt stir it up, what type of sand do you have (CC, agonite, etc). If its larger, you could use one of the syphon things from the store.

My Christmas wrasse and GSM clown do a great job of keeping the sand in my 210g clean.

the ones i got are about the size of a golfball, some bigger. I got them for $1 a piece on ebay, and i only loose 1-2 a month. I think its worth it....works for me
