im not exactly shure how to set up a sump, but here is my understanding so far:

i guess the intake should be at the waterline so whatever volume gets pumped out of the sump gets pumped back in. also i think the intake pipe should be pretty big, am i right? from what i can tell this set up would prevent an overflow... any good links for sumps would be greatly apreciated. thanks for reading!

The line from your pump going back into the display tank should also be at the waterline or at least go over the top of the tank. Then a hole drilled just below the waterline mark would keep you from overflowing your sump if you have a power outage.
There are lots of good sump designs on here, just do a search :)
