Good sharing

This is a really cool setup. Simple. Works great and no drilling. I've been testing these overflows for the past year in a test tank. One problem I see in this one- the 'T' in the overflow tube must be ABOVE the bottom of the inlet tube that's inside of the weir. Otherwise, the overflow will suck the weir dry on pump shut off. I put a lot of testing on here if anyone wants to see. Flow rate testing, etc. I've had mine sit there with no power for a whole month one time. I plugged the pumps in and it took right off. I love this guy's tank and stand

Thank you so much for this, it really simplified things.

I really like how simple that plumbing is!

Thank you so much for your video.

u r genious,,,most simple sump i've ever seen,thumbs up and subscribed

Thank you for making this understandable and uncomplicated :)

great job. I really like how simple that plumbing is!

Loved the way you tell us its very simple way i like it

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!

And I subscribed.. Thank you for the info..

Você está realizando um sonho, está tudo lindo, parabéns você merecê, abraço, Ricardo no "Brazil"

helal olsun kardes.

This was so cool and you made it look so super easy 🤗🤗 saving this to my favourites playlist 🌸

I built this set up and just tested it..as long as water keeps being above that white pipe it works well..ty

Super easy

Should’ve cemented the ball valve above the connector because when you turn off the flow and go to unhook the overflow from itself, the water is stopped before where it is shut off at so you’ll just end up with water all over the floor and an automatic siphon running more from the tank on the floor.

i also tried many versions of this overflow but you always need to care for it.. a little air can accumulate and you don't see it until it's too late. In the end i drilled the tank and never looked back: it's much easier than it seems.

amazing,,plz make a video of plumbing through drilling

beautiful bro ... at least how many watts of pump is suitable for the sum tank type below?

I really like the fact that u do things so simpme an neat.i have a question thou i have a european brace on my tank an my tank has a drilled hole in it for the drain pipe.how would i use this method of overflow on my tank.i know it may seem silly but im new to the hobbie

Please show how the pipe ia done

Nice setup. I have subbed.

salam i did exactly the same overflow but when power goes off and the water from overflow reach its mark abd stop flowing it wont prime itself and start when the power comes back i have to prime it again

Y can't see the pump goes up pipe joining to the joining outlet pipe through way down to the filter tank, bro ?

👍

hi , i saw you adding another additional larger diameter inside the water inlet tube inside the tank , i guess this is to prevent the tank being drained dry during power outrage. However, if you put the larger diameter tube, water will be absorb from the higher level . Sediments and fish shit wouldnt be able to suck from bottom of the tank

Это потоп будет в скором времени. Свет остановят перелив завоздушит это раз, у сампа перегородки очень высоко, забьет нижнюю часть и вода через верх сампа попрет на пол это два. Удачи с ремонтом и в борьбе с соседями снизу.

This tank is gorgeous. Where did it come from?

It's also clean bottom surface waste...?

Amazing job!, but what happen without electrical power in the house *no people in the house*

Beautiful aquarium, stand and sump. To be honest there is a lot of bad advice here. The diy overflow can work but without an aqualifter or similar air/water pump at the top of the “u”, air will build up and the siphon will fail. Ur sump design wouldn’t let the return pump pump enough water to overflow the tank. But if your auto topoff is simple without multiple layers of redundancy and time limits, itll flood. If you were to use a 20g sump without baffles, you’ll end up with a good 15 gallons of water on the floor. The valve on a tank with a single drain is another disaster in the making. Restricting the flow to quiet the drain leaves little wiggle room for flow variance as your voltage swings and as snails, limpets, vermetids, algae and general detritus build up in the pump, return and drain lines. Again, safe enough with your setup but others could have a flood on their hands. Unless you have low flow, and an unrestricted durso drain(noisy, bubbles and salt spray), you need a minimum of two drains for the herbie method with one full siphon drain adjusted with a gate valve and one emergency overflow for when your main drain clogs. Dont worry, it will happen :) three drains is even better with a “bean animal” style overflow. Drilling a couple holes in the tank for an aftermarket overflow is MUCH safer, quieter and looks much nicer.

My pump empty the last chamber I make to flow 2000 per liter I used 3/4 inch pipe for plumbing Any inputs plesee??

What happen with the overflow silencer?

Hi does is work perfectly?? Without fail?? I just followed ur video but it failed for me!🤔

what is drain valur

When the power goes out of the filter tank ?

What is the size of the return pump? I want to know how many GPH I should have returning on my 125gal with a 50gallon sump. 🤔

once syphoned and thats it? no need to prime again during power cuts?

Thanks for this! Mine is working, but is very noisy. Is there any other solution than the giant cap? I'm running an 1100 gph pump on a 1 inch setup.

Can't the sump tank overflow if the pump stops working ? is a sump necessary for a fish only tank ?

I have few questions! What is pump capacity?? Liters per hour?? That 2 inch pipe weir you made how distance you should put hole?? Any calculation for tat 2 inch pipe to make??? I already saw your weir video no information about hole Can you please tell me??

I want to build this for a 55g what size diameter pipe should I use or will this 1" one ok

I built in the same way but when power went off then again when power back on it is not starting

I have a problem getting my overflow to start and design as yours, a smaller Diameter pipe sucking downward inside a bigger pipe but If I get it to start the flow is so weak

I think drilling a aquarium is best and hassle free...

حمستني على تربية السمك البحري على الرغم من أني اعلم انه صعب جدا للتربية ولن ينجح الأمر معي

Hellow.after start the return pump ,that last chaimber of sump become water level very low.as i seen like half of the pump..is that good for pump?is it can damage the pump or become very noisy?

Is there any mismatch regarding the flow of water from the return pump and drain pipe?

If the blackout the filter is overflow or not?

I noticed you removed the cap on the overflow. Why?

U didn't show

hi, that friend is what is white, pipes or special tools

Did you drill a hole in the cap, I try mine in a 35 gallon drum but it didn’t work.

I just built this and I am testing it with a bucket full of water. It isn't working, so I must have missed something. In 7:06, when you "fill with water and close it", what are you closing? At 7:34, what are you opening? Did I miss something? Is that a cap or some kind of valve?

Its still working or not brother pls tell me want to build this for my old 75gal tank pls pls reply me

Hi, I ask you, what is your opinion on my aquarium project? I plan to build an 8mm glass aquarium with furniture in wood and plywood. Aquarium dimensions: 1.20cm W X 0.42cm W, H 0.50cm Dimensions aquarium dequantation: 0.90cm W X 0.30cm W, H 0.45cm my house (apartment) is located on the second floor I wonder about the final weight. Can my project be feasible? Thank you

Sump size?

doesnt work :(

Great vid I subbed up. When ya get some time swing by and check out my reef tank / channel. Thanks
