I have about a 40 gallon section in my sump I have crammed with rock for extra filtration, took it out the other day after a year and cleaned but it wasn't that bad for crud in that compartment. But again I have a 1600 GPh pump feeding that compartment to keep stuff from settling

I rearranged my sump completely a month and a half ago. The center refugium is now crammed with rubble and a few live rock pieces. Major pod factory in there though. Like overrun with pods. Took out two small pieces to add into a new jellyfish tank and saw about 20+ pods run out to explore their new home.

I use to have 2 compartments crammed, but, I have been pulling out pieces to add to my display in certain spots and my frag tank. Now, there are only a couple larger pieces. I do get crud on the bottom and clean it out once every 4 - 6 months depending on how much is built up.
Running a powerhead in a live rock compartment is all ways a good idea to prevent dietritus build up.

I had a 90 Gallon sump sectioned off for rubble and live rock. One section had smaller pieces of rock and rubble (not to mention the skeletons of pieces I tried to save.....and failed) in the back that provided ample room for pods, worms (cuc) and macro algae. The front was for my various anemones and served as a 2nd display below the main display.
Every now and then; I would purposely create a "storm" and sift through the rubble and substrate to disturb it. This loosens up any detritus and dead spots my powerheads may have missed.
