I'm waiting for a SCWD outflow device, and my sump/fuge is done.
I may be able to grab a used ultralife float switch from a local reefer in about a month when he breaks down his tank (don't want to pay $60 for a new one). I've measured everything out and my return pump in my sump will run dry before the tank overflows. While I'm waiting for the float switch - does anyone know what the likelihood of a pump running dry catching fire? I'm running a MAG 9.5?
Of course, I realize my siphon shouldn't break - I'm just afraid of a problem.
