As far as a power outage or tank maintenance when the pump is off and the water is being drained back into the sump would the amout of water being drained from the tank depend on where the hole is in the syphon break? You had mentioned the siphon break in another video and I was wondering. These filters are new to me and very interesting. Great video's

@m72e592863 Yes, the siphon break would control where the water stops flowing down the returns, but do nothing for the actual drains.

[uarujoey]

@m72e592863 Yes, water will continue to drain threw the returns if they are under water. Once the water level of the tank reaches the anti-siphon holes, the flow stops. So you should always put the hole near the waters surface, yet slightly under so it is not loud.

Fantastic how to. PLEASE REDO THE SOUND!! Made it insufferable to watch. Subscribed!

The sound quality was so bad that you need to redo this. It looked like it might be very helpful.

@uarujoey I Joey, I have a few more questions pertaining to my last question. As far as the siphon hole break in the return, will the water drain through the return until it reaches the siphon break when the pump is off, or by having the hole in that area keep the water returning to that point at all? Also I noticed in your other video that your return tube is about the depth of your tank. Is that for better circulation since the overflow is at the very top and is it optional? Merry Christmas!!!

@uarujoey Thank's

@Dimunic This is not the same material.. They are both the same type of plastic, but i used Cell cast acrylic. Critter keepers are made from a cheaper plexi glass.

I just want something that's clearer than the low-grade glass my aquarium is made off(it's a petshop bought one) and it's time for an upgrade on my goldies anyways.
