You could always drill a hole at the bottom of the standpipe... which slows drains any water away...

Others have done this... but it's not essential...


Would have to plan the sump tank size to accomodate this drainage. I have two beds that do this and have the sump running low because the tanks when they drain add about 40 gallons to the sump.

Everything is running CF. I could see no difference in plant growth between the beds that drain and those that don't when I was shutting down at night. Currently running 24/7 so can't say if that would have continued.


I have a large Sump, its almost the same size as my FT so i wont have any problems there :)

Could you link me to a timer, is this something that the power cord plugs into? You want to turn it off because of the noise or cost?
