Ok everyone, I am planning to add the last bit of water to my 180 build tonight. It’s not my first tank but it IS my first with a sump.
Question is how much water do I need to add to the sump for the first time?
My display tank is full and water has started traveling down the main drain to the sump. Do I fill it till it’s a few inches below the top of the sump and expect that once all the equipment is turned on it will level out?
Will the tank basically drain with power turned off to the same level as it was first filled?
I am using an external overflow with a bean animal style drain and one return pump for two outlets. If pictures help answer this question, you can click my build thread in my banner. I just really don’t want to overflow or anything!
thanks!
