  • I love the overflow design can you explain how you made it?

  • @AweSomo84 i tried to overflow pvc pipes and they suck so hard the noise unberrable . Can you make a nother video how you make the backpart of the overflowboz?

    Ty

  • I'm going to make it just like you

  • @PKkawasaki lol you dont have a clue do you?

  • why would you put the skimmer in the first section

  • i like this vid the best. your explaination is clear, very convincing. great job :)

  • @1peiceaznboi its just a regular water pump. People usually use a 200+ gph pump.

  • nice job!, thanks for the video my friend!, u just put an end to a headache ive had for about 2 weeks now, clear vinyl hose for the syphon tube, i love it, im going over the side of my tank as i modify and upgrade my wet dry to the sump and there is a 7" glass brace i have to cross over with that tube and i could already see me out back knee deep in failed attempts at bending pvc into that long sweep u need in yer bends to keep a smooth flow , if that even applies to the overflow .

  • I have a question. How does the water get sucked in from the diy sump to the pipes? What trys to suck in the water? I have had this question for a long time, I really need to know.

  • How much did this cost? What kind of pump are you running? What is the GPH of your overflow
