Your tank is about 3.75 gals for every 1/2" of depth. How are your returns set up?
I'm not worried about the back flow from the tank. My sump will be able to accommodate the extra water, plus the extra water from the ato resevoir if it malfunctions.
I'm trying to use the least amount of space for my return section. Since I'm implementing an ato system, but I still would like enough water so the return pump won't run dry for at least 16hrs if the ato fails to kick in.
