an overflow box is for tanks that arent drilled, it hangs on the side of main tank, allows a syphon flow into sump without fear of flooding in case of power cut

is it electrical ? or do youset it just below the surface and leave room in your sump to hold water incase of powercut so the water goes below overflow box but is contained in space you have left in sump,? also how would you control the return flow from the pump are there different sizes with pumps that are recomended for return hope this makes sense m8 lol ;-)
