At this time, I no longer vacuum my sand. That's because it is now divided up between 2 tanks, and is not very deep anywhere. Some parts of the bottom are actually bare, because of the water currents. And the gobies do a good job to ensure detritus doesn't build up anywhere.
True that!

My sand bed is also shallow. I am a big anti-DSB (let's not start anything on that ). I let bristles take care of ugly things
