I am always worried that if the power goes out, and I am not home what will happen to my tank. In the past my power went out, water drained out of tank to a certain level, which made my sump over flow and I had to shut the power off to keep my pumps from pumping when the power came back on. But if I am not home and everything happens like I just stated and the POWER comes on, my pump will start back up,pump all the water in my sump back into the tank and run without any water in my sump area, where my pump is sumerged under water.See, I purchased this tank off another person and he set it all up and stated that I had to syphan (?) the water up through the clear drain tube thats inside the clear container (with grooves in it for water to flow out of the tank into a hose and into my sump area) hanging off the back of my tank to get it going. Is this the correct way to have it set up?
Do they have anything out on the market to keep your tank systems going if no power is on? What do you folks do when this happens? :thinking: Sorry for the long post but I really need to give you guys/gals all the info to give you a better understanding on what I have and how new this is to me, heck I cant even tell you the names of the peices on my tank.
Thanks Chad
