 Re: sand bed Q's
But the RDSB or any other should never become saturated as defined/decried by the critics. With proper waterflow and (solids) nutrient export at large, there just isn't enough matter to sink and begin to accumulate. And the fine sand (<1mm) in particular does not allow the penetration but rather deflects large solids for them to carry on with currents and stay (properly) in suspension long(er) enough for filter feeders to utilize them or skimmers/filters to simply export or trap them. The reality, again, though is that most folks lack adequate water flow, lack adequate skimmer maintenance, and/or overfeed/overstock. As such... their DSBs really do become burdened over time.
