Below is a quote and video on Facebook, so I don't know it will copy here ?
Does this actually work ?

"Have you ever tried bubble scrubbing? It’s an old school technique that seems to have been forgotten by a lot of younger reefers.

Every week or two, I take a powerhead or turkey baster to the aquascape to blast loose all the settled detritus. But blowing it off is only step one—a lot of that fine particulate just ends up settling right back down into tight crevices or under dense SPS bases.
That’s where bubble scrubbing comes in:

Captures suspended waste: the bubbles gives all that floating detritus something to bind to, keeping it suspended instead of letting it resettle.

Brings it up to be filtered out: The upward air lift sweeps everything directly into the overflow so mechanical filtration and skimmer can actually pull it out before it breaks down into phosphate and nitrate.

If you combine it with coral snow it’s even more effective ! "



GUESS NOT.

So, take you pick here. (I trust you all here more than Youtube)
