I have had my AIO tank for almost a year now, and it's been running wonderfully for the past 4 months. I have gone through all the hem and hawing and upgrading and tinkering. I have an extra 20g tall laying around and figured id be able to keep my water more stable if I more than doubled the water volume (tank is 15g) with a sump. I want to know if anyone here has any ideas on a good way to plumb into a sump from an AIO's back chambers.
Ideally, I would not have to drill holes (unsure if the back pane is tempered) as well as the fact that the tank is running and I don't want to mess around with that.
Should I get/make a HOB overflow box even though I already have the back chambers that have their own overflow system? Or can I just drop a U tube into one of the back chambers and send that down to the sump, then return through the outflow nozzle?
How would I control the rate at which the tank drains? What should I do so that I have an emergency drain in case the primary gets clogged?
