How Do You Do It?

[Salty1962]

I've seen many systems on the board who's sand bed is snow white. Thought it would be thought provoking to ask "How Do You Do It"?
Share your husbandry practices on how you achieve it.
Thx

Turkey baster. That’s it for me. No syphoning sand bed

I don't do anything... I have a diamond goby that does all the work for me! (;

Turkey Baster, Nass Snails and Tiger Tail Cucumbers keep my sand moving.

Is this white enough ? Well I siphon the sand every week during water change like 15% , added lots of trochus and nassarius snails and dose phyto (ISO , TET , THAL and NANO )everyday .
I also use kz coral snow every night and have high flow like 2 gyre 130 and 2 tunze 6095 in a 30 in x 30 in x18 in tank .
Also every 2 days blast the sand and rocks with turkey baster .

Wheeler's goby with a pistol shrimp for me. Too much constant effort otherwise. Unfortunately, he only does his patch, not the whole tank ;Facepalm

Diamond goby + caribsea special grade. Perfect sparkling white pristine sand 24/7.

Flipper, my dragon wrasse does most of the flipping sand job. I do have sand sifter, a fighting conch and few clams (not the beautiful giga clams) to help as well.
