I have a RDSB/cryptic zone on my system. Cannot say in isolation how much it contribute to the success of the tank ...... but I like it! I feed it from my manifold pump, so flow is relatively slow, with modest detritus accumulation. I don't worry about detritus buildup anywhere in my system, other than if it becomes an aesthetic eyesore. I find it to be an excellent medium for micro fauna and it is mostly mineralized by that point anyhow. I do periodically 'replenish' the cryptic tank with a cup of crap from the bottom of my LFS live rock bin.
