ive just heard that they have a potential to leak water on your floor, from old age or from power outage, just weird things like that about the hang on the back variety, i planned on doing the plumming my self, does it just use a power head to push the water up and out to the sump tank? or is there a way to gravity feed like over flows?

and thanks the old salt, youve been a tremendous help and friend.

you need a pump to push the water back up.
