Need some advice. I have cut 2 330gal totes so that I have a 300 gal FT with 2 14" deep GBs. I also have a barrel (55 gal or so) that I'm thinking of using for sump. I have ordered a 1100 gph pump. Now that I'm laying it out, I am stumped. Need advice on the configuration. I know the sump is the low point in the system. Do the GBs drain into the sump? If the GBs are higher than the FT, how does the water get from the FT to the GBs? I really don't want two pumps working. What if the power fails?
