Triton and substrate waste

[Grant]

I am not doing water changes as there are no problems with the water. However, this means no siphoning of the substrate. I have nassarius snails. What does triton recommend? Use snails, gobies or conch to keep substrate healthy?

I've found that a good mix of Tongan nassarius and conchs keep my sand beds pretty clean. I'm not a huge fan of the mess gobies sometimes make.

I was leaning towards a tiger conch instead of gobies as well. Thanks for the reply.

Once a week I siphon my substrate straight into my sump with a filter sock at the end. I think it works pretty well.

That’s a good suggestion. Thanks.
