If you check the par and lux output tests I think you will find 1 should be plenty. Should end up perfect so the light doesn't hit the glass either. That's the way mine worked out. I don't think anyone would cry cheater if you build an overflow section into your sump for that extra water. Lol

Could you lower your gph and raise your overflow?

Post by Bryan Thu 24 Feb 2011, 9:36 am

here is a pic of my problem :

Bryan's Contest Nano (killed by my daughter)   Newcube

The drain and return are very low to prevent any equipment from being seen. if the power were to fail, both lines would drain back into the sump completely draining the tank.

to solve this problem with the return line I am installing this :

http://www.marinedepot.com/True_Union_Swing_Check_Valve_Slip_x_Slip_True_Union_Swing_Check_Valves-Spears-FT9133-FIFTVLTC-vi.html

Now the drain line is an issue due to the fact that the flow of water cant be stopped by a check valve in a power failure.

Hopefully I can get this figured out in time

I really dont want to raise a stand pipe for the drain, but it may be my only option

You could seal your sump closed so that the extra water literally can't drain because there would be nowhere for the extra water to go.

you can either build an overflow box around the bulkhead or put the drain up higher paint it an camo it with LR.
