Hi Everyone,
I'm running a bare bottom tank and seem to develop a lot of detritus in the sump area of the tank. I was running filter socks for a long time that helped keep it clean but have since stopped as I feel the SPS look better. Feel like I'm cleaning it out every month. Is this typical? My skimmer is working good but I'm wondering if I can do anything to keep it clean for longer periods. Been considering adding a maxi jet to blow it around and keep the detritus from settling and hopefully allow my skimmer to suck it up. Any advice or is this just what it is?
Thanks!
AJ
