your sump pump is rated at 600gph, and has to lift the water 3-4 feet,
then it may nto be 600gph anymore. depends on how the pump is rated.
Myself, i hear that if you have a refuge, like i do on the 60 gal over
here, then a slower flow is recommended, so then i need to supplement
with 1 or 2 700gph pwerheads for good tank circulation. So, possibly,
with 'more' flow, the stuff will hit teh bottom and stay there
faster. possibly its not really 600gph, but close to maybe 400gph,
and for such a big tank, maybe the flow is actually slow and the stuff
is hangin in the water column since it cant find its way to the floss
fast enough.

actually, rephrasing my last sentence, maybe it cant find its way to
the bottom fast enough. The floss may not find it any faster either
way, since the sump is still pumping at the same rate. Im thinking an
increased circulation will help it find the overflow siphon, and also
help pound it into the substrate as well, hope you have a good
maintenance crew behind this to take care of the grounded mess if this
works.
