I will also use a turkey baster, and blow back behind my LR when I do water
changes. If you can get behind and between the LR enough with the baster,
you can blow a lot of detritus towards the front of the tank. Once that
settles, you can then carefully remove it with a gravel vac. You will never
get all of the detritus from your tank, but you can keep the levels
manageable with properly placed powerheads and the turkey baster trick (you
can also take a powerhead and move it around to blow down behind different
areas of rock before you vac).

The trick is to position your powerheads, or get some more and get
them to
create a current in any potential dead spots. That way stuff does
not pile
up. Not sure about other people but I am still fiddling with my
setup and
seeing what different powerhead positions do to the current in the
tank
sometimes it takes a few days to see the full effect espicially in
areas that
have low current.

I have a 46bow front tank with about 70lbs or so of live rock 2x96PC
lighting and two powerheads on both sides of the tank, my question
is given
the live rock and I am not able to clean behind the rock is there
anything
that I can get to prevent Detrius from forming behind the rock and
in areas
I can not reach.
