Whats the best method to get my sandbed cleaned and all the tubes from spagetti worms broken down? It seems I might have a small outbreak of these worms and their tubes keep coming up to the top of the sand after a waterchange and sand siphon.

This is a 10g cube
I have a few turbos and nassarius snails.

What they said. But if it really bugs you, just siphon out some of the sand in the front leaving the sand to the sides and around the aquascaping alone. Using your hand break up the sand you siphoned out. Rinse a couple times with old aquarium water to flush out yhe detritus and keep all the beneficial stuff alive and return to the tank.

Probably easiest way to rinse the sand is to use a cup and dump it into a bucket of awuarium water.
