    How do i clean my sand???

    Not to sound stupid but I am new to this...what are the reasons for a deep sand bed and what is considered to be a deep sand bed? I hope to someday have a orange spotted shrimp gobey and a shrimp to accompany him. Will I need a deep sand bed?

    Water Changes

    How often should I be doing water changes? Also how much of the water should I change? Do I ever do a total water change?
