sump tank pumps

[thunderkiss]

helo peeps,

i'm asking for help of using wat type of pumps are advisable to use with a sump tank without drilling holes from the main tank to it......meaning to say water is pump into the sump tank & outflow back to the main tank.thank you!

Are u talking about return pump from sump to the main tank?

I think you have all your technical terms mixed up man...

No pump really requires any drilling of holes, just pipe it around instead of drilling a hole...

If you want the water from the tank to go into the sump without drilling any holes then get the i-box from ian (check the sponsors page)... or make your own DIY overflow..

yes that's right without having a hole from main tank pumping water out to the sump.like a standard power filter that brings water down to the sump instead & it's counter action pump of bringing the water back to the main.wat water pump "speed" is advisable to use for both situation?thks for your reply....

You are advice to get a overflow box.

u dun need a pump or an overflow box to allow water to flow out of your tank w/o drilling a hole....

wat i did was to have a U-shaped pyv piping, control valve on the outside, fix it up n turn on the valve,the water will flow automatically...
