I'm looking to run a sump/return pump and a closed loop on my upcoming 1000g build. Is it okay to have both flow into the overflow and suck from the bottom of the overflow? I'm going to run an overflow that's going to be 6' to 7' long and external on the backside of the tank. Only problem I'm seeing is that on startup the trough might suck dry if I didn't start the sump return pump first.
Anyone tried that? Or is it a disaster in the making?
I plan on using eductors and a 5,000 gph pump for both pumps. So that's 10,000 gph flowing through the overflow.
