Yeah, I agree that the filter material would be best to help the cycling of the pools as opposed to the clarifier. But if he's not going to be scrubbing that stuff right away, it would probably accomplish the same goal as all of the water is going to cycle through that material just as much as it would via the filter - being a closed loop system - and so what's on the netting from the clarifier is going to end on the biofilter material just as well and will stay there once he scrubs the deer netting. Of course, again, I'm just kind of taking a stab at Steve's intent, though that is the reason that most readily comes to mind. Hopefully he'll jump in and share what he's thinking.
