q about in-sump skimmer

Currently, I have a PM bullet skimmer in my sump, and I'm not very happy with it. I've had it for three years, and I take good care of it, but it barely skims anything.

I had a huge green carpet anenome that ate a school of anthias, a foxface, and a niger trigger. I was sad when I returned it to my LFS after having it for 5 years.

Sump Cleaning?

My sump is filthy. There's a ton of detritus built up on the bottom. Is there any way to clean the sump without having to remove all my pumps, heaters, etc?
