Just setup a DSB marine tank... Can anybody recommend which sand bed critters to keep to help with the maintenance of my sand bed ? Heard about sea cucumber and starfish... Any others ?

Got a advise from a senior member in this forum that to avoid old tank syndrom, every 4 years got to change entire sandbed. Also replace part of rocks in the tank.
