no I dont touch my DSB, I leave that to my critters to maintain. in my display the SSB I stir constantly to feed my corals and re-suspend detritus.
honestly by the term "way overskim" I just mean use a larger than rated skimmer and skim fairly wet. I dont think its actually ODing on skimming. its just an expression. kind of as a means of comparison to those who get the exact size for their tank (wich I think companies overestimate the capacities for their products any how).

I think you would need a massive amount of them to make a dent compared to what a decent skimmer can do. | |  | |  | |
yup picture a race way filter with 12 feet of raceway (4 feet by three turns with three surfaces in each pass) with egg crate "barriers" every 4 inches along the lengths(perpendicular to the side walls), every surface completly covered with aiptasia, that would be thousands of aip and millions of stinging fronds to capture particles. I would suggest that this would be one efficient means of capturing any organic particles to float through.
