I am planning a build with a basement sump utilizing a 100g Rubbermaid stock tank. This will be my first tank using a sump like this, and the first time using an external pump.
The display will have a Herbie overflow, with one emergency drain. In my previous tanks, I always made sure the display could handle the volume of water in return section of f the sump in case of a drain restriction. With a baffle-less stock tank, I don't know how that is possible, unless I drill the stock tank high(er) so the external return pump's intake is pulling from the top of the sump, rather than the bottom. Or, create a standpipe in the sump so I can adjust where the pump is pulling from.
Am I correct in my thinking ?
