I think he's talking about the overflow failing,not the pump. Can and does happen,twice for me though my tank is drilled.

ahh I see the problem. Step1 sell sump,step2 build a sump around your equipment. My pump out chamber holds my water level at optimum for my skimmer(no fluctuation either) and prevents my display from overflowing. Cost me 20$ for sump tank and 12$ for the acrylic baffles the silicone I had.

maybe you could drain your sump for a few hours and just add a last baffle right before your pump so there would be less water for it to pump into your tank if it did fail . but then you have to make sure you watch out for evaporation and such. just an idea.
