Ok so I'm trying to learn more about sumps. Like the different ways to make them and set them up, what kind of media they use, how to install the overflow, is a pump used in the overflow does it use gravity to bring the water to the sump? What purpose does a refugium serve? If anyone knows any articles they could post about different sump setups and their purpose in detail it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Go to forum button at the top then to setup and filtration and start on the stickies. If you have specific questions id be more than happy to help
 
I only put the pump in the sumps, sending water up to the tank, and let gravity move water from tank to sump.
I have some siphon overflows, but find drilling the tank to be much more efficient, and less apt to have a mishap such as a break in siphon causing the tank to overflow onto the floor.
