to sump or not to sump

[christyf5]

Yes yes, the reasons for a sump are all grand and such, I have no problem with that (and I didn't know you could put aggressive fish in there, cool, like a punishment tank for being bad) but its the "water everywhere" comment that I'm worried about. I think I need to look into this plumbing thing. I'm a scientist not a plumber, ask me the scientific name of a fish or coral and I can answer that but if you want me to talk about plumbing I can tell you to jiggle the handle on the toilet to stop it from running all the time.

Ok so I need an overflow now. I'm gonna go look at this stuff in a book before I ask any more stupid questions... [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
