Further to this, I did an annual MAJOR sump cleaning about six months ago. Swished all the Live Rock I had in there. Vacuumed all the BSW. Did a complete sump water change. Even sponged what BSW I couldn't vacuum due to the last drop water change. Scrubbed my refugium screens. Ever since, my reef has been doing quite well. Mind you, I've incorporated other strategies too...increased carbon use (900 grams for 247 net gallons), increased RowaPhos use, added UV, and a controversial one...dose ChemiClean once a month....so it's hard to attribute an annual major sump cleaning to success, but I'm pretty sure it didn't hurt. I'll be doing another major sump annual come January 09. It's a fair job, but I think it's worth it. Cheers,
