Suggestions please, DSB cleaning in sump
I am just wondering what is the time frame of vaccuming/cleaning the dsb in my sump, or should I just leave it. I have about 5 inches sand/crushed coral mixed, no plennum, a couple of sand dollars for sand sifting. I have about 20 lbs. live rock in the return partition, and running a cora life 220 skimmer and remora 3 pro. My water seems ok, alk 9.0, calcium 400, ph 8.2 and high nitrates at 40- 50 ppm. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
