How about some pictures so that I can understand your feelings?

It really depends on how much you feed and how mature & biodiverse your system is.

Your best clean up crew is Chemiclean clean.
 
In my frag tanks, I use mollies adjusted to full strength.

I use tiny blue legged hermit crabs.
 
First step is to be sure that your nutrients levels are not to low. In a tank like yours I would not go lower than 0.1 in PO4 and around 3 in NO3. If you are lower than this - adjust up the nutrients. In some cases - it is not helping and I have lately using another method. I prepare a solution of fine CaCO3 powder (the ones that is used in breweries) and bacteria. Some use bottled bacteria but I use bacteria from my skimmer (e.g - I do a mix between around 50 ml skimmate and 1 tablespoon of CaCO3 powder/100 L and mix it with some aquarium water. Let it stand for an hour and after that por it into my aquarium. When I started with my aquarium - I did it very day in 5 days - no action for a week - new dosing for 2 days - 7 days without - 2 days of dosing and so on. You can find some ideas here
