Jonathan, do you have an automatic top off running on your system? If the water would evaporate even a little bit, and no water drains through the overflow, the 1200 pump would run dry right? Do you have any pictures of your set up? I don't have an auto top off or a sump so I'm afraid (especially now during the summer) that if I use the preskimmer, it might run dry easily.
