I do notice that, when I feed raw seafood, there is always strands of fatty tissue that is not eaten by anything in the tank. I also notice this stuff floating around & I'd Imaging it would be necessary to keep your 1" bed clean for optimal performance. I'm sure that high flow rate helps keeping suspension until removal. I would like to know what effects on not taking care of it on a regular basis, remember without a DSB there can be quicker swings in water prams. That is one plus of a solid running DSB. Well In Mikes case this isn't so true, as water volume overcoms the sudden changes but hey how many of us keeps 1,000 gallons of water suspended 24/7?
