wow... that is a seriously getto sump... love the UGF plate dividers... lol... but let me get this straight... all you have for an overflow is a siphon going from the tank to the sump? A little to getto; that set up is bound to fail... there is no way you can match the siphon rate to the pump's flow rate... and even if you can, it is still a serious risk to your home... the siphon can get clogged, power source might change slightly for whatever reason and reduce slow rate slightly... it's just WAY too easy for something to fail there, you need to get a proper overflow.
shane loves tracy 8) that's me!!
but yeah, we invited a saltwater friend over to come help figure it out, and he said basically he had no idea how to keep it from failing.
so, long story short.. we're going to run it for the next day, and then we're going to get a canister filter.
*sigh* like we hadn't spent enough money already.
its a freshwater tank, so i dont need a refugium or anything fancy.. so i'm thinking about getting a filstar xp4. i have an xp3 on my 90gal and i've been pretty happy with it.
