Yes I've experienced this myself. One reason I put my filter socks back on.

Same here. Floating particulate would reduce PE on my acros.

IMO, you can never have too much flow! Blowing sand is just a matter of aiming the PH up a little higher so the flow doesn't disturb the sand. The particulates are what our filter feeders consume. Less flow and problems like GHA or cyano arise.

BBlinks, I believe your new 300G is also 27" tall right?

It will be 27 tall, but even with the 210 sitting at 29 I still see a lot of stuff floating around even with filter sock in place.
