Love your work and vids. They have become crucial to my next big sump build for 2x2ft and 2x4ft tanks. All plumbed together. If I may add. The only addition I have looked to make, at the top of the overflow, where you drill in the air pipe, drill the other end into the inlet. Creating a venturi, so the airlift pump isn't required

Still having great success with the original version of this overflow. I don't really mind the 2 pipes and some fish actually use it as shelter during lights out. I've had great flow for months and it's silent. I also put a PVC elbow on the intake then stuck a filter intake screen in that to protect fish from being swallowed. This also make this overflow extremely quiet. Great vid!

I have a question thats not in the video. I want to do this but I want to also keep my water line above the trim of my tank. That means the slots for the weir could be at most about 1/2 of an inch. Is that too short of a slot. Would it work or should I just the cut the pipe off at the top a afix a screen to the hole?

@schilling3003 7 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. It would work, but if your return pump failed you could have a mess. The back of the biocube has inlets that are halfway down the tank, so that's how far it would drain.

@ghos282 7 жыл бұрын

Both this and the 'original' design have their specific 'niche' applications. I use the original design (with ball valve added to the drain pipe connection) for water exchanges with aged (Municipal) water, (rather than a constant water exchange system). The original design is better at 'skimming' the occasional bacterial surface film (which might form if you accidentally overfeed). straight down the drain. --The design presented in this video however, merely concentrates that film at the base of its larger in tank 'well' and when shut off during periods of non use allows all of that trapped bacterial film to redistribute across the take surface again.

Built this style and it works like a CHARM. Thank you so much for getting me into this. I went from a guy not knowing about sizing, PVC pipes, and how this style of filtration to actually knowing something and putting this all together. I even modified it to be more quieter as well so it works (put an drilled end cap on the stand pipe and a slip coupling to reduce the sound.

8 жыл бұрын

+silencedknight Is this setup dead silent?

@silencedknight 8 жыл бұрын

No it isn't but there are videos that show how to combat the noise of this (since its the water falling down the pipe). With the drilled holes you see there there is a solution to this using a stockman standpipe with the proper materials you can make on your own. There are a few videos, you should look into it!

8 жыл бұрын

Yeah I know about stockman standpipe solution but I don't think you can apply it to this overflow weir design.

@silencedknight 8 жыл бұрын

You can, but you have to put an endcap at the top of the pipe. You have to drill the endcap so the intake tube can fit in there. Let me know if you have any questions.

@vbsurfer2000 6 жыл бұрын

First thing, this system works great. One problem that you didn't cover with this Overflow is what happens during a power outage. Yes your water will stop on the siphon side but if your return line is still below that point, it will continue on the return side. The way i fixed this problem was to drill a small hole on the return line at the same level as the siphon side. If you dont then your sump with overflow on to the floor. Might want to cover that side of this project as well if you haven't already. BTW great channel Thanks.

Making this right now, a little concerned with the sizing for a 40B though, I followed the instructions from the first video and cut the lengths of my pipe to 16", which is the height of the tank, but there's less than 1/2" of clearance from the bottom to the opening. I'm also testing it out with a knockout plug instead of a cap, 3" caps are a little expensive, so we'll see how it goes. Any problem running a pipe in the tank that's a little shorter, at most 2", than the rest of them?

Instead of using an aqua lifter, you can use a power head with an air intake. This will double up for flow through the tank as well as ensuring the overflow is primed in the event of a power outage. Have used this method on many overflows in the past and it works well.

I love both of your videos. Now this video is showing that I can get 60% more flow form the new style. I have a 265 gallon tank and was told I would need about 1,200 to 1,500 GPH. So using the numbers from your first video and with the new style I guess would need to use one 1” pipe and one 1.1/4” pipe to get 1,528 or one 1 ½” pipe to get 1,344. If I did my math right. Another question is does the overflow pipe have to go so far down the weir pipe? I want to keep the overflow pipe a couple of inches below the water line just in case something happens and I don’t drain my whole tank out.

Hi Joey, I have recently made your DIY overflow for my saltwater aquarium, however I have a dilemma. In order to make the overflow fail proof I would need the Toms Aqua Lifter pump that you recommended in order to suction out the air. The dilemma is that I'm Australian and so the 115 volt pump would be 240 volt, so therefore it cannot be used because it would literally blow up. I'd really appreciate if you would take the time to provide me with any suggestions as I have not been able to find another pump of the same function available. Much appreciated.
