The topic pretty much says it all. My sump is pretty bad looking. Hard crusty brown precipitation is covering the sides and bottom of the sump. Everytime I go to work on it, I end up stirring up all kind of "junk" and my sump pump puts it into the tank. Takes about an hour to settle so my tank isn't cloudy anymore.
Just wondering how often you guys break it down to clean it. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a new sump ($3 Rubbermaid 56QT container) so I could take the old one out. I figure that it would be easier to simply swap sumps from time to time and clean the old one out later rather than to have to rush to clean it to get it back in operation.
