I don't vacuum my sandbed, I have an Orange Lip Conch that does a very good job of keeping the sand churned, and white.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I have a Hector's Goby that sifts the sand all day too. He picks at the rocks too.

I mostly vacuum my SSB when I feel like it. I keeps getting harder to get to all the time, so eventually I probably won't be able to. I vacuum into a filter sock, so I can take my time.
