Re: sump design
Sump design looks good. As far as drilling the tank, it is somewhat of a personal choice. The biggest advantage of drilling vs a HOB overflow is that the HOB uses a syphon in order to work. If the power to the return pump is turned off, it is possible that the HOB unit could lose syphon. If it does, then when power is restored, the pump drains the sump and then runs dry. If there is enough water in the sump, it could overfill the display resulting in a flood. Bestt case, though, you just burn up the pump. Worse case is loss of pump, flooded floors and potential fire from pump. Now, not saying this is real common, but just a potential from a HOB overflow. Drilled overflows can also have issues if they get clogged. So it is really up to you which you prefer, but if you go with a HOB overflow, spend the money and get a reputable one.
