Any input on the ceramic plugs as opposed to alternatives?

This is my first attempt at even contemplating an extensive filter set-up as I only have experience with HOB filters and the all-in-one system like in My nano cube. How do I get the water down into the sump without creating a potential for flooding during power outage? don't want to run dual pumps because if one fails the other keeps running and floods either display or sump. Maybe we should create/replicate the HOB system like I have on my 10g. We could create an elevated stand to have a 10g as a sump/fuge slightly higher and have it gravity feed back into the frag tank.
