I'm building a sump for the first time ever. I'm going to build it rather simple... mainly to serve as a little more water volume and to hide my protein skimmer and heater and be able to get rid of some ph's in the display tank, since the return flow will be probably twice of one power head I use now. The idea behind this is to really clean up the 46 bow from all this equipment.
I'll be using an overflow box. When I thought of this idea, I thought to myself what if there was a power outage? Would the siphon still be there? Or would I come home to a living room full of water? Any horror stories about this? Is there a way to preven this? Or does this just not happen?
