    Overflow siphon question

    Tank overflowed:nervous: Losing the siphon is my primary concern, Pump keeps pumping till it runs dry, I guess keeping a low level in the sump makes sense. I was going to use a Rio 3100 for the pump, 120gal tank. Not a good choice?? Recommendations?

In my mind's eye I'm having a hard...
