haha I guess flood proof was a little premature. I will simulate the tank draining down during a power outage to see how well my sump responds. I think I'd have enough if it stopped at the height of my overflow, but not if it goes to the bottom of my return line holes. Eventually I'll be getting something more like a 50G sump but hopefully worst case scenario doesnt occur before then. If it did it wouldnt be the end of the world since im on a concrete floor and I think I could handle 10-15 Gallons of water on the floor.

It'd suck, dont get me wrong, but theres nothing that would get completely wrecked really, and eventually the water would find the nearby floor drain.
