I have ~2500gph turnover (~17x), return via a Mag12, overflow through a 2" pipe. Where the water exits the overflow in the sump I have legions of amphipods (the shrimp-thing that you are seeing, best picture I could find below). I would have expected them to be blown around but they seem to have excellent grip. I even see them on the pump intake on occasion.

I do not get sand blowing around unless my goby really gets excited.
