Thanks for your help. That is what I was concerned about, high nitrates. The tank seems OK now, the nitrates are below 20. I would ideally like to have a sump but I am pretty new at this and am not really sure how to go about it. Are there all in one sump systems to buy? I have read so much about do it youself sumps but it gets a little too confusing. I understand the sump tank itself but all of the plumbing needed stumps me. I would need to do it with an overflow box...Then there is also the question of how you prevent the tank fro overflowing in the event that the power goes out and then on agaion restarting the pump but not the siphon from the overflow box.

If I could buy the whole thing alread assembled, that I just needed to hook to the tank I would.
