I seem to be having a bit of debris particles floating throughout the tank. I would like to clear it up, but I am not sure how, or what is causing the problem. I have a diamond goby who makes a mess when he goes around eating. I am using a standard water pump and filter so I am thinking it may not be strong enough. Any advise is awesome.
 
It's probably the diamond goby stirring up the sand. I had one that would spit sand all over the place and I finally gave it away. Stirred the sand good, a little too good. If you have a sump try putting a filter sock on the water in to your sump.
 
Yea I have a yellow watchman and a tiger pistol shrimp and they constantly have sand up in the water column, I put a filter sick in my sump and I notice less floating around in my tank!!
