Wake too strong / Debri

Ok. So i didnt notice my "wake pump" was turned off. I turned it on and my clowns, as they are quite small right now, seem to keep getting pushed back by it. I have also noticed debri that seems to circulate around my tank, generally circuling its way to the top and seeming to disapear once it reached the surface. Once I turned on the pump TONS of these particles seemed to stir off the live rock and substrate and the fish started going CRAZY eating them.

Are these particles something I need to worry about or are they just part of the natural cycle of things and just organic food for my fish?
Is the wake too strong right now or are my clowns just playing in it? I cannot tell if they are struggling in it or if they are playing in it!!!! They seem to swim very hard against the current then it pushes them back and then they swim right back into it and they repeat this over and over.
 
So if they dont like it they will stay away from it then?
And i take it I should use if they eat it it is food as a rule of thumb?
