reverse sump?

Ran it this way for over a year, no problems.

that's exactly what I was thinking of doing...

I have an undrilled 54 corner tank with very little space for a sump below.

I've got a lot of space on the furnace right beside the tank, and I figured it'd be easier to do a reverse setup than mess with hang on overflow boxes and what not.

so it'd be a bad idea with a high output pump?
