If you notice, Joao also has a thief drain in the sump, directly connected to the sewer. So nothnig, but nothing,overflows.

Good insurance, and would make water changes easy too.

Nice build, you 120 looks small compared to your monster tank and 120s aren't even small!

You got it right- Those are 2 fluidised sand filters
