Video showing how a pvc overflow works. Also shows cost and gph of each size of PVC. This is a great alternative to drilling your tank, or paying for an expensive hang on the back overflow.

Getting alot of air going into the overflow pipe why is this

[uarujoey]

@0987pops what do you mean by this? does it keep loosing siphon?

[TheOverlordglee]

can the loop on the out side of the tank be lower then the loop in the tank as long as the 3 way ( T ) is still higher then both loops?

[uarujoey]

@TheOverlordglee yes, that should work as well. 

[obleck2018]

Can you show a video wit the over flow in action.

[uarujoey]

@obleck2018 I have a complete video on how to put it together, how to start it, and i show it running. Check my other videos.

@slimo41 I have bought over flows, i have drill and plumbed my own aquariums, and i have built several types of overflows. they all work on the same principle, and on the same idea. This overflow works just like any other style.

Great work sir, thank you...

[rjbrocklesby]

there is lots of air coming out of the cheak v it is like a small whirlpool going into the inlet

Hey superstar I built one for my 125 and it has a two way valve I also put it coming from underneath the tank with glass around it on the corner it's custom and looks great alot of work I am still building the tank but I will have videos up soon it has a custom all glass wet dry filtration to it's for my wolf cichlid

[CHIEFKCRUE]

great video I built one also. one problem one time it stopped taking in water and I had to once again bleed air from the oneway valve any idea how to correct? I used 1 1/4 pvc worked fine last two weeks but had to restrat siphon last night as it started to overflow

[superstarboi]

for a 125 gallon, what diameter pvc would you recommend for the best most efficiente water flow and how many gallons should the pump be able to pump back into the tank? i have been watching your videos for a long time and i think i am finally going to build one of these for my 125 gallon.
