Connecting Canister filters to built in overflow

[reefwars]

what would happen if say one of the canister filter lines were to break(god forbid) if my drain plumbing leaked it would land in my sump but if yor canister is hooked up to your bulkheads and you sprung a leak while at work wouldnt it dumop what ever it could onto your floor??? just curious is all

then if im right and you sprung a leak(again god forbid) wouldnt your ato keep dumping frshwater into your tank causing even more headache??

I decided to scap the canisters and go with a sump. For ease of pluming, I picked up the Marineland Model 2 sump filter. What i like about it has 3 slide out drawers for different media. Perfect for my use, also pluming is a snap as this filter is the model designed for the Deep Dimensions 150 cube. I am looking forward to the set up, the tank bulkheads will now be directly over the sump (in case of a snall leak). The sump will contain heaters, PH probe/controller, CO2 reactor, grounding probe and auto top off and it even has a chamber for a refugium - which I was thinking of doing a freshwater fuge just for algea. Not sure yet.
