Originally Posted by Mr_X you could limit the amount of water that comes out of the dt to the sump by raising the return, and the overflow wall. less water would leave the display in the event of a power outtage. the tank that I want to use is drilled and has a internal overflow box and a...

I understand what kinderson & mr x is saying This is the question..I now have a 30 gal eclips tank which is deeper than it is wide. I have a refug that holds about 3 to 4 gallons. I keep the refug half full. When the power goes off and the return stops the water level in the D.T goes down about...

one other question for you. I have 3 tanks set up in my livingroom 2 fresh 1 salt. The entire livingroom is on one curcuit breaker. Will I have to get three of these GFCI ? to protect all 3 tanks? Or will one protect all of the tanks being they are all on one curcuit? thank I appreciate all...
