Sand bed Problems

[CoMMaNdeR]

Guys my sand bed looks dirty, not white as it should be. For circulation I have 20.000L/H by Tunze streams in a 180g.
I can see some detritus also in a few areas, maybe all I need are some sand sifting critters.

Can you please tell me which critters help to keep the sand white?

Watchman gobies are quite good and are actually entertaining.

Sea cucumbers, conchs, gobies

Try some Nassarius snails.

I got some Nassarius snails yesterday, they are pretty cool hopefully when I get home today they did a good job at mixing the sand up

Diamond back goby. Mine keeps my sand nice and clean.

A question about the gobies, do they make a significant dent in the population of critters living in the sand?

how many gobies can I put in a 180g

At the moment I have a lawnmower blenny inside too

Yes. My diamondback goby at all the little white starfish in the sand.

Watchmen gobies or Jawfish. I love my jawfish, he turns over the sandbed about once a month. The only thing to keep in mind is that once they eat up all of the life in the sandbed you are going to have to replace it so consider also running a sump/fuge to put the critters back in the bed.
