My new 200 gallon tank came with what I think is an Overflow system with a sump. Im confused on how to set it up. It is called a " CPR Pro 150 Wet/Dry" Can anyone help?
Help!

I would replace that overflow, they are prone to failure. The design is flawed and relies on a vacumn pump to keep suction. When the pump dies or there is a power outtage you could have a flood. Either drill your tank or go with a hob overflow with a U like these. I'm not saying it won't work but I would do some more research before hooking it up.

I would recommend a lifereef if you're not going to drill a tank, they are almost fail proof and are very high quality, but a eshopps works pretty well too.
