I've got a 28" deep tank and it's a pain to get to the bottom to clean the CC.
The lfs sold me a lawnmower blennie for the rock and this little guy works overtime keeping the rock clean.
What works hard at the substrate?
Get a clean-up crew. That usaully consists of snails, hermit crabs, shrimp, etc. Gobies do a great job with cleaning CC too, but watch out for your lionfish. I had a volitan once that swallowed a yellowhead sleeper goby.
