Thank you for the advice/input! I think I need to clean my return tubing somehowThat really is the acceptable form and amount of detritus to be circulating, it’s marine snow feed id keep up the current approach and accept as much as part of the natural production system. If you want it gone still the tank and siphon out all the pockets of waste, but some will persist as all animals including live rock animals are exuding whole waste pellets that always compile and distribute
