Clean sand
 
My sand was always dirty, I mean you can see detritus settle on it even though I have many current. I bought a diamond watchman goby and did a good job but he cleaned the sand and covered the corals and rocks with sand so I had to remove him..

Is there a method or any other good fish / inverts that keep the sand clean without doing a mess like this goby did?

I use the typical stuff. Crabs and snails. I sand sifting star may work well. Good flow is the key to keeping waste suspended in water.

what size tank and how many GPH do you turn over... alot of people say that have plenty of current until they have a problem.

In your sized tank a few generic sea cucumbers should make a noticable difference ... nothing fancy they actually look like turds but they will come out at night and scour the substrate for organic matter.
