Return from the sump would be via some tubing inside the overflow tubing.
I was at a lfs the other day and saw a betta in a bowl with bamboo in it. The bamboo had roots which would act as a nutrient exporter. The idea has intrigued me ever since I saw the set up.

Anyone using plants, or specifically bamboo, with roots in their betta bowls? If so, how often do you change the water? Do you get algae growth in the bowl?

TIA,
