I agree with the occasional sock use. I find that my tanks do better (grow less algae) after a "simulated hurricane" once in a while + a sock to catch the detritus. I go in with a turkey baster or powerhead, take apart rocks that are moveable, and blast insides and the sandbed to suspend as much as I can so that the sock can catch it.

Also no microbubles on any of my tanks either. Just requires good sump design and baffle use.
