hey whats up fellas. The reason why i ask is because i get detritus in the back of my rock work. Currently i have a sand sifting star fish. And two orange spoted gobies that do a good job. But can you guys recommend anything else?. Thanks!

i run a small power head attached to the glass behind the rockwork that blows a stream of water across the length of the back of the tank. it works magic!
