I like your documentation so far on your project. Nice to know someone else is starting at the same time.
Thanks! I haven't setup my overflow yet. I'm actually working on making one, that looks like the cpr. However I figure that if I keep my water level at a certain level in the tank, in the case the siphon fails, and the pump pushes all the water in my tank, there should be enough for it not to overflow.
