I am not sure what the question is but I will try .........yes, I do clean my sump about once every 6 months. I just suck out the water with a shop vac, wipe it down, and refill with new saltwater.

I only really ever scrape the glass on the front. I use a shop vac to get up the detritus and dirt that collects in my return chamber whenever it gets pretty bad and I usually take everything like pumps and bio media and give it a good scrub in water change water every few months.

^^^What these guys said^^^

Of course you should clean it out every once in awhile. I find that after 6 months or so there is a layer of gunk in the refugium area about 1/2" thick.

I clean mine bi-annually.
