I have a 150g rubbermaid tub that i use as my sump. In the center of it sits a container that holds my skimmer with a constant water level, which is elevated in the sump by a couple milk crates. Surrounding this skimmer setup is a couple hundred lbs of live rock, with no way for me to remove detritus without removing all the live rock. Not to mention the detritus that will collect under the milk crates as well.
So the question is, is the benefit of having extra live rock in the sump outweighed by the problems created by detritus build up? I'm beginning to think the answer is a big fat YES.
If this is the case, should i remove the rock permanently and just leave the sump as a way to have a whole bunch of extra water for stability?
