Here is an interesting observation. I am not sure if it relates to barebottom tanks or oversized skimmers. I am setting up a 280g BB with a g6, which has been running for 2 weeks with my live rock in the tank. My current tank is a 125 with a DSB. I am exchanging 10% of the water in both tanks everyday until Friday when I will move everything over. I take the water from the 125 at the very top and add it to the sump of the 280. Within 15 minutes I have about 1/8" of crud in the g6 collection cup. This is course is not happening in the reverse. Keep in mind my water quality in the 125 is good, the water is clear, and the corals are happy. So its a not like I draining visably dirty water. Just an observation.
