A look at my newly build overflow for my 80gal temperate reef tank. Still need to mount the overflow and return permanently. Seem to work great except I now wish I used larger tubing. My return pump has a lot of unused power that I had hoped to use for circulation. Me sad.
@MarcuxRyan pvc cement is fine once dry. I just happend to have a tube of silicone. Plus it would let me pull it apart if I needed too.

one more thing I noticed you are using a silicone sealant.. is it because "commercial solvent cements" are not safe for your fish?

@MarcuxRyan that is 3/4" but I would really suggest bigger. I have a newer on that is 1 1/4" and still could use more flow to deal with my return pump.

Hi.. What is the size of the pvc pipe you used? thanks

@xKELxPAYNE hehehe I have moved return close to the surface so that in the event of a power outage it can only drain to that level. Who needs a flood!?
thnks
