I believe that is the key... there are
many, many factors that effect the load and sinking abilities of each aquarium. I do think that having a BB tank allows for better export of nutrients/nasties that would otherwise stay in the sand. I also think that having low nutrients keeps the rock from clogging as quickly if at all..again, depending on the ratio of nutrient import/export.
With my BB, I am convinced that my export of nutrients is far above my imports. The diterus, skimmate, macro algae removal, and coral fragging that I get from my tank on a weekly basis is FAR more that what I feed! I am considering doing a large water change though....
