There is debris on the bottom... like a sandy muddy layer wriggling with pods.

The algae attached to everything. The plastic side walls first, then PVC, then the live rock, then the pump.

I was so glad to have put in a 2" overflow PVC pipe. The main return overflow got completely covered and clogged with a mash of hair that ran for several feet down the tube. The overflow switch set off the alarm but the passive emergency overflow saved the day.
