Any trick to vacuum sump?

[bk_market]

My sump is on the floor so I can't do the trick where the water on the outside is lower to vacuum all the detritus out. Anyone have any trick or know what I can use to clean my tank? Thanx

I've got an eheim sludge extractor that I will sell you way cheap.

I put a loc-line flare nozzle on my maxi 1200 and use that to suck out and clean the sump.

I use a Python, going to a bucket outside, below the level of the floor.

I use a low-tech turkey baster.

I use a python that hooks to faucet to create vacuum.

Zipline a filter sock felt or mesh to the end of a syphon hoze on a pump. Turkey baste the sump, and pump the water out letting it pass through the sock. Put the clean water back in the sump...
