So, on my big build I have a 75 Gallon I am using as a sump. I am going to move it up off my floor so the water fall is less and power outages aren't ever an issue. I was going to drill the tank but....see picture. So, I do have a 75Gallon that is currently running, just going to run it without any baffles and have a auto siphon overflow to handle my drip system. My question is, what works and what doesn't? Lots of people have "the best" when you google, but who here has what works?! Other option I have though about would be 2 level switches the turn a pump on/off at specific levels. Thanks in advance!

if you had a over flow box all you would need was to drill a tiny hole on your return line just below the water line so when you lose power it will suck air in the hole and break the siphon your water line should drop 1-3inch only . just test it an see by unplugging your pump
