Thank you, Kreeger1!
I just trying to figure out, what am I doing wrong with filtration (apart that the tanks are much smaller and undrilled , but the principle should be the same).
Two tanks, 20 and 90g, total turnover 25 and 20x per hr, return pump - 7x and 5x - your is similar: 22x total and 3x (calculated for 360g). Oversized skimmers on both. for 90g - ASM G3.

Still have a lot unremoved detritus.

May be direction of flow? Can you give a hint, where powerheads are pointed, for keeping particles afloat.

Sorry for distraction from the main topic of the thread, folks. But efficient filtration is important for the non-photosynthetic tanks too.

Nice red gorgonian! Is it prone for catching algae or detritus, or is always clean, as swiftia?
