Default Water Level in Sump
What is the correct way to determine you max water level in the sump?

The max level in the sump should be determined by figuring out how much water is going to drain from the display when the power goes out. The max level should be set so if the water is at the max level and the power goes out the extra water from the display doesn't over flow the sump.

+1 !
Make sure you have a hole in your return if it is submersed so you don't flood (due to back-siphoning) when the pump shuts off! Trust me, it sucks.. mine got plugged with algae so make sure you keep it maintained or above water level (like mine is now >< ).
