how does the sump work/?

 

[Kaya]

There is a bottom drain and a top skimmer in the main tank that feeds the sump.. there is like a 4" slope in the main tank from all sides to the bottom drain.. the water levels try to balance out in the sump and the main tank.. there are two motors in sump chamber 2.. they move water to two canisters and then return to the main tank.. so when the water levels are trying to balance out there is movement.. the sump is only to hold my motors and heaters.. i'm plannin on adding additional media too..
