2) the sump is able 2 hold the siphon back water from the main tk(ur setup is unlikely 2 happen).
Hmm, now I am confused Bro DevilFire,
I try to post a diagram of my intended design of Overflow( or if you been to LCK110 ) , did you see the way the tanks are drilled and a PVC pipe attached , with the top portion connected to a conical shaped pvc. Yup mine overflow will be like that , w/o the additional glass partition enclosing the overflow like most tanks do(is that necessary?)
So my logic is drill a 25mm hole with a 25mm overflow pipe, a return pipe 20mm , and as the return pump pump water back into main , water overflow through the overflow pipe back into sump. How do I ensure 1) ?
