to do this, you will need an external pump that can handle the head pressure of pumping the water back upstairs. i like the GenX pumps personally.

Budlight,
what you are asking is kind of complicated, but certainly doable. We need a little more info..

What size tank do you have? How old is it? Is it drilled for an overflow or "Reef Ready"?
