about to buy fish
my 30g has been up for about a month and a half now. Have a pretty good size cleaning crew, and am now about to add some fish. My concern is, how am I going to clean my tank (glass, sand) and syphon my water for a water changes without stressing out or hurting my new fish. I don't have a sump or refugium??

it is no concern ... just do a 10-20% change at a time and make sure the new water matches the old in temp, salinity, ph, etc.

Syphon the water with a hose. You can get a sand sifting gobey, starfish, snails, etc... Clean the glass with a magnet type cleaner or/and arazorblade if coraline algae builds up.
