to prevent water backflow to the sump during a power blackout, I think it's better to use a powerhead situated in the main tank.

Erm.... I think the designer already catered to this problem. He's got one way valves, as well as ball valves installed to prevent back-flow and facilitate maintenance.

Don't think it'll really eliminate all dead spots as the placement of the water outlets are on the stop of the tank. You have to factor in rock placement. If have a mountain of rocks below, there's no way water flow will be efficient.

I think some of us here already has this design

Can those people review about it?

Hi ppls,

i just did that for my tank on sunday..

the reason why i did that is becoz my tank is not very big .. so reducing current as my LPS are not opening due to too strong current.. and the corals i love all dun need strong current.

i'll take a pic to show wat i did ..

but i think for those who wants high current... this is not for u ..
