I am thinking of switching over to a sump system for my 155Gallon tank and I have a few questions / concerns that need to be cleared up before I decide to go that way.
My main concern is about the water overflowing from the sump in case of some failure. I have a HoB overflow for the sump (where water goes down to the sump), so I am assuming that if the water level goes low enough, then no more water would go into the sump and hence a failsafe method to not flood my apartment.
Considering this, how big of a sump would I need for a 155Gallon tank? I have enough space to put in a 75Gallon tank inside the stand, but I would prefer something smaller in length.
I am a total noob to sump systems and I've never used one before. Some members were kind enough to let me know how it works in theory before, so I have some idea.
Please help me out in this debate and convince me that I should get a sump system running
I am also looking for information on how to set it up, what equipments I need and how much it could cost me etc.
Thanks
