New sump

[corper]

Thanks Scott!

Did you ever have problems with your main tank overflowing. My tank seems to fill up faster than it drains. I have a Quiet One 3000 pump with 1 inch pipe as the return. I put a T in the return and have it go back into the tank at opposite ends. I had to add a valve though to slow the flow of water to stop the main tank from overflowing. The hole in my overflow box is 2 inches with 2 inch pipe returning back to the sump.

I bought the overflow box used. It came with 1 inch hole and I drilled it to 2 inches. Is the overflow too small??

The gentleman that sold it to me has a good rep. and told me it would work fine on a 72. He also told me to buy a mag 5 pump and the one I got was a little bigger.
