I already understood "how" a sump works, I found your explanation (the drawwrings helped) VERY easy to understand. Making me actually think about the mechanics. Great job!
I’m new to your channel, but I’ve been binge watching a ton of your videos! I love the wealth of information contained within your humorous videos! Keep it up, Big Al 😌
Thank you for the vid! Very nice simple presentation. I always wanted to understand the basics of overflow systems. Maybe one day I’ll have a fish room and utilize these! 😆💕🐟🌱🐠
Do you need an overflow/sump system for an aquarium? Im starting a saltwater reef tank. If I’m watching the whole water change then there should be no concern for overflow right?
Look at your bathroom sink/ bathtub, most has a little hole on the side for an overflow incase you plugged the drain and forgot to turn off your faucet :)
I saw a system overseas where they were using a gravity vacuum primed by a pump separate from the sump system... I think they were using electronic water level sensors to activate the grav drain any time the sump stopped drawing from the tank... I know it was all hardline and used a paint mixer for adding oxygen and co2 to the clean water return. I'm just not sure I want every tank in my room to be on the same water with temp being the only defining water variable.
How I wish you presentes this video alongside with actual aquarium examples. I'm a super noob and just purchased a used marine tank I'm planning to set up soon. I have no idea where to put stuff in the sump +++ . lol
To stop flow, if you for some reason ever turn off the pump, you wont flood your sump/basement area. Also some have 2 overflow holes for easy water changes.
Klestello18290 just a tiny bit. But i find the info so valuable i would hate for them to remove the video. Maybe Thomas should film the content again but with props?
