First off the majority of ur bb should be housed in bio media material, that way you can closely control the colony, if u don't have any bio media buy some before u start cleaning everything, wait a couple weeks for it to seed and then ur good, every month just swish it in tank water to clean, that way u can clean all substrate and tank without sacrificing the bb.
