Cool Re: How do you keep your sand clean?

I have 2 Brittle stars that are supposed to be sand sifters, but they are more the lazy rock dweller type but are good scavengers.
I have 2 big electric blue leg crabs, but they just eat the algae off the rock and walk over my corals.
I have a sally lightfoot crab that I see in the sand from time to time but he likes the rocks better.
I have a emerald crab that drags himself through the sand, but nothing sticks to him.
I have a Tiger Gobi that sifts through the sand, but he is just one fish in a vast sand bed.
In the end, I have a hand attached to my arm that once a month I move through the sand and stir up the bottom and let my mechanical filter substrate catch it, and I clean it twice a day for 3 days.
