Re: sump pump
trust me it is not easier to do that you will more than likely end up flooding the sump by having two pumps

Re: sump pump
Have you thought about having the tank drilled? The easiest way to set up a undrilled tank is by using a overflow box. Is there a reason why you don't want to use one?

Re: sump pump
The overflow is how water gets from the display to the sump. Its either a hole drilled in your tank or a u tube connected to a box that uses gravity and suction to transfer the water. If you want a sump you need an overflow.
