Default Who vacuums their sandbed?

I have a SSB running on my tank, but the tank is so full of rock I really can't reach much of it...and the parts I can reach just end up in the bucket because my sand (caribsea aragamax) is too light to fall back down in the siphon thingie. Just wondering who all vacuums there sandbed?

And for those who do, how do you keep your sand from all ending up in your bucket? I could easily vacuum pretty much all of it directly into the bucket =/ If it is by using a different brand, what is that brand and grain size/shape?

Edit: I have an orange lipped conch and a signal goby that keep the sand churned up like Myka says, but I am worried about the possible detritus that may be building up.
