Tank clouding over?

[Lilah]

I have had a biocube 32 for about 2 years. right now something is shooting out of the outtake pump that is making the tank cloudy. Its dusting everything in the tank over, rocks, coral, and seaweed. at one point something that looked similar to sand started coming out. I have shut off the tank even though there are fish in it to stop the cloudiness. Debris is also coming out, like white blobs/strings. I don't know what's happening, please help.

Check the sump area, whatever is coming out is coming from there.

Do you ever clean out the return area? If not it could be 2 years of buildup finally made it to the intake of the return pump.

I've checked the sump, no I haven't I can't get my hands down there and whenever I try to use tools they get stuck.

You are gonna have to figure out a way to get in there and clean once in awhile.
