This created a siphon and the sump over flowed a little and we had to clean up some water off the floor. I never put a hole in the top of the PVC pipe because we only used it for water changes. Also our door that covers the light strip has a child proof lock... But we forgot to close that door. Now there is a hole in the pipe and we have our two year old on puppy patrol.
Still might be a good idea to clean/service the pump. Are you still considering a new pump?

Is your two year old's name Murphy by any chance. Glad to here it was only "some" water and not 25% of your tanks water.
