Alright I've got my first tank with a sump setup it's a 90g with a 30g sump. Predrilled for a durso so 1" and 3/4" holes. I'm wanting to switch to a herbie because the noise in the sump is annoying. sounds like a bathtub blah blah. So, my only problem is my sump size and the way it's designed. I don't have a large amount of room because about 1/2 is a fuge I also have a very small return section (pic below). My worry is that the way a herbie works the drain is quite a ways in the overflow box and I don't know if I'll have enough room in my sump for the water if power cuts.
Side question if I put my hand in the tank with everything running will that affect the water level in the sump/overflow? (I've been in the hobby for roughly a year maybe 11 months and I've not had a sump before.
