So my tanks been established for a year with hob gear and junk. I want to add a small 10g sump it’s the best I can fit. It’s a 40 breeder, was thinking of getting the eshopps 300 or the cpr cs50. The cpr one seems to have a pump that’s prone to fail, toms aqualifters are discontinued and they now use hydor aero 4. Problem is I can’t find that pump for sale either, and I’m sure it’s prone to fail. The cs50 also has a 3/4 bulkhead, will there by a difference in using 1” compared to 3/4? Ima keep lps and anenomes so I don’t need much flow. My wave makers can make up for it. So which overflow would you guys recommend?
 
Ok yeah I went to that site. Not user friendly at all by any means. If they have a number I’ll call, I’ll still end up getting the eshopps tbh most likely. Cheaper and has the same function, siphons fine after a power outage. Hmm so the small one does 600gph? Might be a tad too much for my tank. But doesn’t seem bad at all
