Question a refugium. If I was to have a smaller side by side tank next to my 75 and wanted to make it a planted refugium with a pump taking water out of the main tank and a pump putting it back. How could I keep the tanks from overflowing if i have a pump failure on the return pump back to the main tank?

just need a siphion. a "U". as long as they are the same height. the siphion will only work till the water levels equal. aqualifter pump to keep the "U" air free.
but for a ref, low flow high light is good. could be a cool set up. one side inverts or grazers and reef on the other.
The correct answer to do it that way is that you never leave the tank.Robbwilder;2921322; said:
But I'd put an overflow on the tank instead of the pump (two pumps will never work).
id use one pump on a common sump.... one pump "T" it to both and have overflows one both tanks.... sump sont have to be big 29 gallon its just to hold water....
