You shouldn't be vacuuming a sand bed. You should have your cleaner crew do it for you -- like nassarius snails. There is a lot of good bacteria in the sand bed. You don't want to vacuum them out. The snails will keep your sand clean without destroying the bacteria.

Not to may people actually vacuum the sandbed in saltwater.You can stir it if it's shallow enough(less than 2''),then do a water change.
