Sand bottom freshwater tank

[Donavin]

I recently switched my tank over to a white substrate. It looks really good but I'd like to hear ideas on how others keep there's clean. Currently I am trying ghost shrimp. I've heard they do well. What other ideas are out there?

Bottom feeders like khulis, corys, or plecos.
But nothing beats a good vacuuming.
If you dont overfeed than the only thing on the sand should be crap. Which should be vacuumed up. Bc i dont think theres any crap eating aquarium fish...shrimp may feed off it a little if its high in veggies

Gravel vacuum. Best way by far.

 

[Donavin]

Will the gravel vac suck up much of the sand itself?

After a bit of practice it won't.
