To be honest with you it probably has a lot to do with flow. Mine is super high flow so I'm definitely catching more.very nice setup.
as I learn about roller mats and see their positioning in scale, I have this additional question: if that roller mat isn't preventing attachment of waste in other substrate, is it helping?
if you take out a few pounds of your live rock and set them in a white paint bucket of clean new saltwater and twist them about sharply midwater, sharp fast twisting, for 1 straight minute how much detritus comes off and lines the bottom of the tank
if there is any sand zone in the display, if you reach in and grab a handful and drop it down/does it not make a massive cloud of waste well up in the water?
I'm attempting to discern if the rollermat is preventing alternate waste settlement, and if it's not, how does removing just a fractional portion of detritus accomplish this shocking change in nitrate without chemical adsorption media
