Hello all, I have a 75 gallon tank w/ a couple of coral and very little fish. I'm just curious on how others keep their sand clean? I keep a couple nassurius snails, top crown snails and a couple of hermits. I don't really like stering up the sand so I keep a court jester goby and twin spot goby which both stay very small. Sometimes they are on the ball and keep the sand pretty white, but that **** detrius starts to pile up after while. Any suggestions on how I can keep the sand white and detrius low? Thanks alot and I will appreciate any suggestions given.

Kole tangs will eat the detritus in the sand. I also might suggest more nassarius or hermits. Micro stars would be helpful.

...and a fighting conch would be nice.

Ditto Gary's on the nassrius. I'd guess 20 or so...
