Im gonig to connect 2 containers together with bulkheads so water has to flow out of one into the other.
water is going to flow into a bucket with grating on the bottom and filter material inside. the idea is to have the hole in the bucket under the filter material so water has to flow through to come out into the sump and into the skimmer compartment. then flowing through bulkheads into the other container holding the return pump.
I figure I can put high low switch in the second and if for some reason the overflow box breaks a siphon it will shut off the return pump, but the first bucket will have enough water to keep the skimmer submerged.
the idea is to cut off the second bucket if the flow stops once the water is under the connecting bulkheads.
in my head it sounds like a good idea and that it will work. but any thoughts are welcome.
