Im setting up my new 210 tank with dual overflows. The sump I purchased has a bio tower. I removed the bio Balls, but I am still going to use the tower for the intake of the overflows from the filter. The problem is my Bulkheads coming from the tank are sitting lower than the intak of the filter. Im using flex hose for the connections. This is going to have a loop down and then back up the the intake for the filter. Is the water still going to drain from the tank ok like this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Daren Brantley

It should still drain as long as the water in the overflow boxes is higher than your sump. You might have a flushing sound though as the water in the pipe backs up and then releases.

No way to tell but to try it.
