Okay, this might seem like a silly question but as I've not had a tank with sump, I'm not sure how you do water changes.
If I have a manifold, I know I can use this. But what is the procedure
Do I just open valve and let the return pump pump out what I want? (via hose into sink or container)
Is it better to siphon from tank? Or if I choose to do so, I turn off return pump
If I use a transfer pump to clean out sump (skimmer area) do I turn off return pump
Assuming of course if I clean the return pump chamber, I have to turn off pump.
What is the best way or ways to do water changes when one has a sump. I've only worked with AIO's
