Hi,
I just got a good offer to buy a bit used 100L tank with a sump. However, I have no experience with overflows, so I would like to hear opinions from more experiences people concerning the setup.
As seen in the picture, there is a smallish overflow box inside made of glass, with a plastic comb. The drilled hole with a bulkhead is for a 12/16 hose. No other drillings made since the return comes to the tank basically same way as an external filter inflow hose.
I naturally have a possibility to get the tank drilled more if needed. The only major shortcoming that comes to my mind is the fact that there is no emergency outflow if, for some reason, there would be a block in the main outflow.
Any thoughts and ideas for improvement are well appreciated.
Edit: Concerning the size of the outflow hose/pipe in terms of the filtration volume per hour, the tank has been used for a non-CO2 setup, and I'll do the same.
