My tank is a 16gallon Biocube. Due to living in an apartment this is what I have room for. I want to bring more stability to my tank and adding a sump I believe is this best way by adding more water volume.
So, I’m planning to buy a Fiji 20 sump (I like this one better than the smaller ones as it offers a spot for a refugium as well) I will have to do an external overflow. I plan on using a cpr external overflow with an air lifter.
I want to run my return pump on an outlet with a float switch that would turn it off IF the overflow quits working for any reason.
Where would I put this float switch though? In the sump is what I was thinking. That way if the water level drops below normal operational level it will kill the return pump.
Here is a link to the Switch , Sump, and Overflow .
I can’t drill my tank. So a normal overflow is out of the question.
Another question is I have an ATO, where do I place that float switch at?
Im trying to get all my duckies in a row before my purchase.
thank you for you help.
