This new rack is kicking my butt a little. I'm worried about the plumbing. I've never had 10 tanks feeding into one sump and am concerned about overflow should the power go out. Any of you guys have experience setting one of these up? I have 7 29's and 7 20's I would like to rack and have all of them use one sump filtration set-up (either one or two 55's)then through a UV sterilizer, and lastly through a polisher. I've looked at overflow boxes among other methods of "safe" multiple tank set up and am not feeling to0 darn confident right now. Any words of wisdom/advice are gratefully appreciated. I just fixed the basement from the last flood I caused... I don't feel like doing it again. Shocked

sorry i have never personaly run more than one system of a sump tank purely for the reason that i have never ever wanted to. my reasons being that if i have a problem in one tank, then i dont want the same problem in another tank(as would happen on any tank connected to the same system) but hey my theroy/ideas might be wrong other people might have done it and had good results Cool
