Sump size

[alton]

Alton....I like your list.

What's the purpose of the powerhead in #2? I thought about it for a minute but did not come to any conclusions. lol And, any reasons you wouldn't combine #2 and #3?

Just curious because I've been thinking about our sump design for our 220g that we are working on.

Also....I love #5 because when an auto top-off is not being used or if it fails, it's so annoying to have to top-off every day. I'm doing that right now. People so frequently cut the last section (return pump section) short.

I got the idea at LMAR. One of the speakers whose name I can not remember spoke on sand only fuges.

Awesome that list is perfect. and being able to not have to worry about topping off the sump everyday would be great (ive got that problem now as well).
