Thanks Brett. I'm thinking maybe this weekend for grunting that sump over. It would be nice to have it outside of the middle of the basement where I have to step over it (it's like a magnet for other junk: I don't know where to put this spare 30g, so I'll put it in the pile. Hmmm, a bucket full of heaters that I should check to make sure still work. One day when I have time. In the meantime, I'll just leave it next to the sump. What's this Home Depot bag full of? Screws? Why did I buy a bag of screws again? Hmmm, ok, I'll just leave it here until I remember what they're for...)

I forget where I was going with this. Oh right, the sump. Yes, the sump. I'm thinking of maybe moving it into the stand this weekend. Right now it's in the middle of my basement and it's like it's a magnet of distraction and other things that I don't know what to do with, so it ends up in a big pile, and.....

I am not sure if it has been brought up before, but is is possible that something was accidentally dumped in the tank?

The thought did occur to me. I don't think so. No evidence of anything spilled or dumped, and even though I have small kids, they aren't in the basement without me, so I know it wasn't them. I also checked the ceiling to see if something could have been spilled from above that seeped through the floor, but I couldn't find any evidence of anything like that.

Another theory I had was that a pump failed and released oil but that too wasn't it. I don't have any oiled pumps anyhow. Heater was fine too.
