Madreefer is right, it would be very inexpensive to do a small sump & would really help stabilize your system. You would not need a large pump & I have 1" bulkheads, hose and possibably a pump as well.

Not stupid at all, when you drill a hole in a tank you need a bulk head to seal it off again. This is where you add PVC pipe & fitting to direct your water flow to & from your sump.

its when you buy alot of heads at one time

hahah a bulk head is a threaded fitting that has a rubber seal it what goes in the holes that are drilled in a tank, the two fittings that make up a bulkhead screw together with glass inbetween them making the seal tight and then both ends can have pipe installed into them.
