    I know. He said you can set it to have a certain probability of a certain number of storms per day. And it wil mimic cloud movement. He can set it to have a 20% chance of having three thunderstorms. Wow!

    Another question about the sump, where will evaporation occur? In the sump and back chambers? Just the sump? I'm thinking just the sump because I'll have the return line directly connected to the return output from the sump. that makes the back chambers a continuation of the DT.

    Also, instead of baffles all I will have is a egg crate wall keeping the chaeto away from the return.

    ALSO, I'll be able to keep a bigger skimmer(possibly an external one) maybe an octopus.

    Evaporation will always happen at the lowest point. Currently you see the evaporation point in the rear chamber of the biocube. So, when you add a sump he evaporation will occur in the return section of the new sump.

    More questions: if the power goes out, will the siphon restart when it comes back on? And if the siphon breaks, what will i do about my return pump?

    TIA.

    well im just assuming that during said power outage, theres no power for the pump to run, so just hope and pray your around when it comes back on, cuz thats when the flood will occur due to that syphon breaking, the main display will just fill up, flood, and then your pump will be dry and probably fried.
