Flow should prevent waste from settling and then it is up to the export mechanisms... skimming, chaeto, carbon dosing, etc. I do find it to be easier with BB simply because waste and detritus cannot find places to hide. Hi Richard,

Would feeding heavily like that be best suited for a barebottom? that is very interesting…do you assume this would have a heavy impact on a DSB aquarium?

The more frequent the better in my opinion. From Shimek's article: "From this study, it is apparent that these fish are feeding continuously throughout the daylight hours. They are eating small items, but on the average they eat an item of food every three minutes all day during a twelve hour day." Correct. The more frequent the better in my opinion.
