How To Clean Your Freshwater Sump The Easy Way.

Awesome. You take all the hard messy work away. Thanks for the laugh, frisky fish 🐟 🤣

Dear Gil: You have a super-terrific process, my friend. I did water changes, on my, two, largest tanks, this evening. I do scrape algae off the glass, while the water level is low. My ancistrus is no help. He doesn’t clean the glass, at all. But, I do love him. Thank you for sharing your work; full of helpful, aquarist tips. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

I have a very simular sump set up with Poret foam. I pull the foam panels out while the sump is running and it is less than half the work of your approach. Any detritus resuspended is gone in a few hours. Great video.

Bravo. Great design.... I'm drawing it out for future reference. Thank you

Damn this is impressive! I love your setup and the maintenance! awesome stuff

Honestly Hard to say if the Severums got frisky because of the sump clean, or the Barry White music, either one could do it :)

I might have to try a sump filter in the future, and congrats mate on the severums breeding😊 I love the gold eyes they have🤩 stunning!

One more great treat.

Thanks for sharing these pro-tips on a clean sump. I want mine to stay as clean as possible and yours looks cleaner than many tanks I have seen & the frisky is an added bonus, since I am hoping to try my hand at some Discus & shrimp breeding. Cheers.

Nice setup, I use separate plastic containers instead of a glass sump. My "sponge chamber" is a 20lt Bunnings bucket, which I just take outside & pour on the garden, quick rinse (no siphoning). Daughter plays a good statue, I was waitn for someone to jump scare her 😉

Wow what a great idea with the basket,,,, just subscribe 👍❤️ it

LMAO so true about the crap and the politician.. least you know the filters can be cleaned. One of these days I have to try doing a sump.. Nice clean up my friend

Love ya vids mate , tanks looking mint 🙌 how’s the bcb baskets working out ?

Hi. Love your set up. Simple and neat!! What return pump are you using? Thanks

Love it 👌🏾

Why is your water level so high in your sump? Good idea with the yellow basket👍 think I'll steal that one from ya✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Barry white to the rescue for fish breeding lol❤️🇦🇺

im building my sump right now mimicking your build. hard to find that plastic mesh in my rural area

I love your sump. All the other sumps I see really irritate me because they barely even fill it. But you keep yours nice and full which makes more sense because one of the main benefits of having a sump is to increase the total volume in your system. I do have some questions on bulkheads and watertight seals. I see them done a million different ways. One person says only use aquarium bulkheads with a rubber seal and no silicone. Then another person uses regular threaded pvc fittings and just silicones them together. There's a million different ways to approach them. So what are your best practices? How do you use your bulkheads?

I have a tiny sump for my aquarium, but have lots of room for a bigger one, you have inspired me to make a bigger one, but I have just one question, how do you manage to syphon the water from the bottom of your sump?
