Your RDSB should be located at a point in your sump where there is no detritus to be imported. If you cannot do so with your existing system, add a small mechanical filter.

I don't see a benefit to moving any more than 50 GPH over the sand bed. We want to keep it anaerobic with a long contact time. I would use a bleeder valve on an existing pump, rather than add a new dedicated pump just for that purpose.
