Can either add salt or use Vermex to eradicate this problem

Try add aeration into sump compartment, this'll promote an aerobic culture that will eradicate methane emission.

There are some in my sump tank wall too.. after vermex treatment need to wash sump tank media?

indicates its time to wash your filter media and change wool.

Imo. An advantages of an aerated sump: 1. No methane emission thus no rotten egg odor 2. more air exchange accelerate evaporation and oxidation thus less Nh3 therefore end less No3.

*Nb: The administer of sodium chloride into system (fish tank) will latterly alter the viscosity of liquid in the tank due to slime effect thus render ineffective for the above recommendation.
