So has anyone had a water/vinegar solution sit stagnant for a couple weeks where there was previously living GHA? Well... the pump I had for circulation in a sump I had with a solution of this sort ended up getting unplugged when my family was digging out Christmas stuff earlier this month and I now have an odor that is in the fish room that is far worse than anything I have encountered (this tops dead snails, dead anemones, rotten eggs, etc.). I drained the sump as far as a spare pump would allow me to and I don't think I'm brave enough (and I probably shouldn't) to bring the sump to the bathroom to rinse it out. My question is, will this smell go away if I rinsed out the sump multiple times or am I better off spending another $50 to get a new sump put together and giving this thing to a nuclear waste program? I've thought about doing a scrub down with bleach water, but I'm not sure how good of an idea that is...
