Would the water level stay high in the sump/refuge or would it even back out with DT?

I'm still doing research on a sump/refuge. A couple times lately we have lost our electricity for about 15 minutes. If I was using the eshopps overflow and wasn't home when the power came back on would my DT flood from my return pump coming back on or would the overflow box start again when the...

Originally Posted by fishfreak1242 It is safe to use just as long as the pieces that you glue are not submerged in water. The smell usually goes away after it drys. So how do you hook pvc to the return pump?

The rim on my tank is one and a half inches wide. Will the Eshopps fit over that.

Any advice on which one to get? It looks like the CPR has a height adjustment which might be good.
