Hey guys. I'm upgrading to a sump filter for my next setup with a drilled overflow in the tank.
My question is, I would like to connect a stem to the overflow so it pulls detritus up from the substrate and as a fail-safe, would a hole in the stem below the water surface stop the syphon so it doesn't drain the tank in the event the sump pump fails?
Interested on your thoughts. Pros & cons. Thanks.
