Detritus clean up

I have a 90 gallon display with SPS, LPS and 9 fish.

I had a shallow sand bed and got sick of the detritus making the sand very dirty so I removed the sand bed and it made cleaning the bottom far easier.

The issue I have not is the bottom collects so much detritus that it needs to be cleaned twice a week minimum. Is this normal?

How do those large tanks deal with detritus? Surely they don't clean it out as they will be there all day. I have 3 power heads trying to blow it off the bottom so the skimmer and filters can do their part.
