Why would the tank overflow with the power out vs on? I'd think it would just continue running as normal.
Separate note: I'd make sure you have surge suppressors on everything. I'm glad I did as I burned a bunch of them out during a brown out a few years back. Still cheaper than replacing my reef equipment.
I'm worried about it overflowing in general and the return pump continuing to overflow the tank if the main drain got clogged. I wanted to run some kind of a switch to turn off the return of the tank got too full. But with the batter backup it's not possible. I need the battery backup to not burn out the M1 during brownouts. Surge protectors and GFCI outlets are obviously a must in my tank.
I think that I'm just going to create a mesh thing to keep snails and animals out of the overflow area. Possibly silicone it down. That should solve my main concern for overflow.
Unless someone can think of something else?
Thanks for the input. It feels like I'm talking to myself I here sometimes. :lol:
