    24 Nasssarius vibex is the way to go for you. Won't clean up algae, but they will clean up fish waste. If you have an established detritus problem, some manual cleaning will help them catch up. Time works too.

    sand fleas? Do you use them? How long have they lasted for you? I have been asking if anybody had success with them, they seem to die off in 3 months or so. Do you feed plankton to them?

    Sand depth shouldn't really matter. zero sand, lots of sand you get the same number. They will only dig down about 3 inches or so. But even if you have a bare bottom they do fine like that.
