			 +1 on vacuuming sand. I do this every water change - if I’m taking out water might as well be the yucky stuff.  Really solved my nitrate problem when my tank was new.  Also blowing off rocks with turkey baster once in a while, or brushing off rocks before vacuuming.  I was too chicken to add anything to tank that I couldn’t test for.  Just a lot of elbow grease and patience.
