@fcsail next time be more specific - video lighting? tank lighting? I posted to give a general idea of my setup - sorry, I didn't have the budget for a whole production crew.

You want to make sure the "return" side of your sump only holds as much water as your display can handle. If a snail or fish goes down your overflow tube the pump is going to keep filling the tank without water overflowing. So if your tank can hold 1-2 gallons of extra water, you want your return side of the sump to hold that amount. You can just put the pump on a stand to raise it if you dont want to re-do baffles. Also a fish/snail guard would be a good idea!

How to setup a saltwater tankby earthling198463,567 views
wondering if i can get some measurements on ur overflow. how long is it? other youtubers have longer overflow but i like yours better since it is short. you mentioned in a comment that the vacuum would break if it isnt deep enough so just wondering how deep is yours.

@dinhy34 cool - I'll get the measurements for you - at the moment I'm on holiday but as soon as I'm back home, I'll get the measurements and reply to you with them.

Do you have any new updates on the tank? Would live to see your whole system. Thanks

@184445 Yeah, I haven't taken pictures in quite a while now, but will do so again within the next week or so and will put them up.

does it still work even with the slower pump?i mean the water return is a bit smaller than the capacity of the pipe?

@neffin for sure!! we have quite a lot of power outages where I live, and sometimes for 6-8 hours at a time, and when it happens, I'm usually at work, so when the power does come back on, because the vacuum isn't broken, everything works as it did without anything flooding and without any human intervention.
