Hi there!

I have been thinking about adding a Sump to my current Biocube 29. I was thinking of using the Eshopps Nano Overflow box for this but I read online that if the siphon breaks for some reason then your return will stay on and overflow the tank all over the floor. Has anyone heard of this happening? No I am worried!
 
Yea, thats how it works. The idea is to use a powerhead or some use the Aqualifter to suck the air out and keep it out, so when in case of a power loss, the powerhead would suck out the air when the power returned. Or keep it from losing siphon while in normal operation.
