Their flow-through capacity is crippling hello algae!] A closed loop pump on the display, with or without a sump installation, can be harnessed to power a manifold as described above. Since the intake is tapped through the display body wall, and the return is at or above the water surface, there is no risk of an overflow as with a sump from return lines that dip too low and back-siphon in the event of an interruption of power (assuming the safe running sump level was not calculated and obeyed).
