- Its been around 6 months since I've given the sump a good clean. Since I have decided to ditch the Nyos Torq reactor and start dosing lanthanum chloride I thought I would treat the sump to a spring clean.

That is the cleanest sump i have seen! Fair play, tank looking great 👍
Cheers mate 🙂
Love the video...Another @aquaforest fan btw...Always great to learn from others...this was another great learning tool...
Cheers dude! Yeah I've been on AF for about 8 months now. So far, so good!
Nice vid again. Your good lady must love you, with everything going on the floor!!
Cheers buddy! Yeah, I get away with murder 😂
i find with the nyos skimmer if you clean the pump etc but leave the main body dirty it still skims as it did but quietens down a lot for a while :)
Spot on, I'll get the pump cleaned next waterchange. Cheers mate 👍
Great video Tris, dont know why but I found it really therapeutic haha! I had never thought of using a wet/dry vacuum like that, great idea! Was great to see the before and after, how often do you clean out your sump like that?
It wasn't very therapeutic doing it 😂😂 it was a bloody mission, the floor was soaked and so was most of me 🙈 I used to give it a deep clean every 2 months and wipe the glass and bottom every week... I got a little lazy
Hi Mate, do you ever clean that black sponge that's comes with the sump?
It's very rare
DID YOU GOT ANY VIDEO INSTALLING THE CO2 OR GFO ?
What are the probes?
Also, any reason why you don't just throw the biomedia in a big bag and keep it in the sump? Easier to pull out?
The probes are for the Profilux 4 buddy.
I'd like to say there's a good reason the media isn't in a bag... It didn't even cross my mind 🙈 next sump clean they are going in a bag 👍
@@NanoTankReefer well I thought maybe the bag would get detritus, but then a dunk and rinse would clean it, but dunno..I'm starting a new tank and going to get some bio balls and put them in a bag in the sump. It's all about finding ways to make maintenance easy as possible!
I was thinking if there is another way to do this sump clean..like some pump that will pump the water out and you feed it through like a sock while keeping it in the sump? This way, the water remains, sump is clean too? Or best to remove the water completely with th detritus?
If it wasn't in such a state I could have used the old King of DIY polisher filter method. He did a how to video years back with a bottle crammed with floss on the end of a pump. That would definitely work, I could run it for a few hours and remove it from the sump once the job is done 🤔
@@NanoTankReefer I'll check it out, I found the video that gave me the idea. It was mad hatter's video titled "how to remove detritus...".
2 year old video but he had this pump with two ends, one that sucked in and the other end that pushed out the water what was sucked. Had a sock at the end to grab the detritus. I'll see if I can get that pump in UK, might be a cheaper and quicker route..maybe
I'll check the mass hatter video out now 👍
Squeaky clean, I only cleaned my sump once in the 170 🤦♂️
🤣🤣 I don't think I cleaned the sump once on my old 170 🙈
