I thought that you were putting your reservoir in the basement?
Yes it will be in the basement. But I do not have time to take that project on right now.

It's not back siphoning so I don't see a check valve being of any use.



I cant see everybody having their res lower than the sump. I Would bet
Most people have them at the same level, or are using a tall standing res.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
