Maintaining Overflow compartment

[MacFishBabies]

Hey there, anyone know the best way to keep the overflow chamber clean? I’ve thought of throwing some snails in there but there’s no way I can flip them back over if they get stuck upside down lol The space is so tight it’s almost impossible to get my scrubber in there..any suggestions?

I haven't had to do that but off the top of my head, you could take just the tube from a gravel gravity vacuum shove it down there and get what you can out that way

Thank you! I’ll have to try that out!
