+1. I've been using the 1200gph lifereef for over a year. Not many power outages but I turn my return pump off to feed and its never missed a beat. They're big and pricey but if you don't want to or cant drill your tank, they're worth it.

Is the tank already on line or is it still in the building phase

I've use the same Lifereef overflow for the past 5 years on 2 different tanks. No problems at all. Starts and stops 100% without fail (so far) when I unplug my return pump.

The only time I ever had an issue was when a large hermit crab managed to get into the overflow box and plugged the tube trying to take a ride into my sump. My tank overflowed for awhile and when the hermit finally gave up and unplugged itself from the tube, the overflow simply went back to work. I came home to 4 gal of water on the floor, a hermit hanging out in my overflow box, and a perfectly running overflow!
