I was recently faced with a plumbing problem in my tank which resulted in me checking out the overflows for the first time in 2 years of the tank running.
There’s quite a bit of MUD down there. It settled on the bottom a few inches high.
I siphoned part of it out during my water change, but couldn’t get it all out because the water in the overflow ran out. I think a wet vac could have been amazing, but my tank is high and the overflows are in the back in a narrow spot. I’d need a longer vacuum tube extender.
Does anyone else develop mud in their sump? Do you care to remove it?
It was very satisfying to remove it. The brute can was DIRTY.
