Default Stupid question

they say there are no stupid questions....... anyhow i have that 55 in my stand for a sump and y reeflow dart on the ground next to it. so to hook it up to the sump is it ok if i run a line up and over into the sump or do i absolutly have to have a hole in the tank(sump) at the same level or above the sump im just wondering if there will be a pressure problem i dunno seems kinda stupid but im confused.

Default Re: Stupid question

The only dumb question is the one that ISN'T asked!
I would have the sump drilled & run a straight line to the pump. If you run a line up & over the sump side you risk air collecting in it & possibly cutting off supply to the pump. Not sure but if you ran up & over you might also have a problem if the pump needs to be primed.
