My setup is similar to Coleus's, I use a reservoir that is 30 gallons with a tunze ATO and my sump has room for about 15 gallons of spare water in it. So in the event of a float failure the maximum amount of water on the floor is 15 gallons if the reservoir is full. 30 gallons in the reservoir will go about 2 weeks before it needs a refill. Long enough for a short holiday. Ideally the sump would have excess room for the total reservoir water.

Same here both tanks run on a reservoir. I just refill them when they run low.
Sorry to hear about your tank hope it all recovers.

It will only run for approx. 10mins continuous then time out and shut off, it then has to be reset.

I also have the timer when the ATO pump run. This way, my pump does not run all days though the reservoir is empty
