Most of it. I have a fairly small sump with three chambers. I keep the power head in the largest, and it keeps that very clean. The other chambers have other pumps in them and don't get much build up.Does it keep the bottom all clear?
I found this cheap pump at northern tool that does a great job in small places in the sump. Well worth the 12 bucks, just wish is came with a plug for the wall instead of just battery powered.What'sump everyone? Happy Wednesday!
If I were to guess I would say that 90% of us have a sump tied to our reef tanks. Sumps of course are great for more water volume, hiding equipment like heaters, reactors, skimmers etc. Sumps are great for many different reasons but they are also great at getting DIRTY and getting filled with detritus! We love to keep our tanks clean because it looks good but it also cuts down on algae outbreaks and elevated levels of nitrates and more. But what about cleaning our sumps? Let's talk about it!
1. Do you worry about keeping your sump clean?
2. How often do you clean your sump?

I was gifted one of those. Seemed great for the first water change but after that it never worked again....I found this cheap pump at northern tool that does a great job in small places in the sump. Well worth the 12 bucks, just wish is came with a plug for the wall instead of just battery powered.
