Using a sump filter, how do you get the crap settling on the bottom to move up to the overflows. I have a 180 gallon tank with a 12" Fly River Turtle and when he craps it just settles to the bottom of tank. I used syphon to the overflow which worked, sucking everything into it from the bottom, but did a test and shut off power and the syphon kept syphoning water to the sump which would eventually overflow. if theres a power outage, it will drain all 180 gallons on the floor of the house. I dont want to reactivate my fluval FX5 because it wont fit under the tank and would need to be in the open.
