Ok, I have a 30 gal tank, and a cpr 500 sump, the cpr cs 50 overflow, and i put a 500 gph pump in the sump. I set everything up and only had a small overflow on the floor These things are confusing!! So now it's running fine, the overflow seemed to be sucking water out too fast and i put a valve shut off on the pipe so i turned it down a little bit so now the loud gurgling noise has stopped. My main question is.....what happens if the power goes off??? When I unplugged the pump before the water ran backwards back into the sump and that's when I overflowed it!! Is there something to fix that? Or am I going to wind up with a huge flood if the power fails?? This is so scary, I almost want to go back to a canister filter?? (too bad mine died!) Any suggestions would be great Thanks!!! (sorry if this was confusing!!)
