I use the same technique but let my two skimmers do the dirty work.
That leads to more frequent skimmer cup cleaning but hey i need to do it anyway.
To make this work a lot of internal water flow is a must to keep particles suspended.
i doubt that any clean up crew will go for the dirt that has no nutritional value.
Filter feeders and cucumbers will, to a degree but they also generate waste so it a vicious circle the more life we put inside the more waste it will generate even is we call it "Clean up crew"
