    my fuge is setup in the first chamber of my sump from the dt. than the center with the skimmer and last is the return chamber. When i do my water changes, i always blow out the last two chambers. should i blow out the bottom of my fuge? The fuge is setup with cheato, and some macro. They are sitting on eggcrate a couple of inches above the bottom which is bare. Should i blow off the bottom of the fuge?

    I would

    If you can get to it without making a mess i would, maybe not everytime i did water changes but enough that i knew it was clean:)

    I wouldnt let things build up. I'd recommend cleaning it out so you are sure your not fostering nutrients in your sump.
