Generally, (unless say a pennisula style tank) people like to have pumps on both sides of the tank to get some turbulent flow and to hit areas the other is not. Looks like it is coming along nicely.
Put a little bit of tank water in a container, get a little metal mesh bowl (the word is escaping me rit now), let the food thaw and then just take the food right out. You can rinse it a bit more if you are picky, but the water it thawed in holds most of the phosphates. Toss the nasty water out...
Bloodworms are notorious for high phosphates. Rinsing food is always a good idea. Also glad to see you did not rush to correct anything and thought it over.
