Turn the pump off, let the water settle. Siphon the water out of the overflow chamber, remove the overflow and you should be good to clean.
I turn the pump off, let it settle, then pull the overflow. The water flows into the sump along with anything loose. I then wash it out with tank water. Then I pull the poret from the sump and clean that.
Well that sounds easy enough! Thanks! ��
The hardest part is pulling out the overflow. It’s a tight fit in that corner.
im Still trying to figure out what a poret is.... You are talking to a sump dummy here. This feels like a nail biter already!
It’s foam. My sump is dead simple. Water flows over bio balls and then to poret foam. I have the bio balls in a mesh bag. I pull the bioballs out and let the poret foam catch what flushes from the overflow.
OHHHH I get it! I have filter socks. I think the foam may be more cost effective. Those socks are a bit pricey! I may try to switch to poret now that I know what it is! Ha ha Thanks Lucas! I feel a lot more confident now thanks to you and Adam. This weekend my fishies are getting a clean overflow!
