  • cool snake head!

    

  • Thx now i understand !!

  • Are those bowfin? They look awesome

  • so the water, once you take the air out, will become a syphon and will not break? it will keep pulling the water over then out that nozzle on the right?

  • Awesome explanation. Thanks!

  • love your description, good job ;)

  • @89cavy Easiest and cheapest way is to stick an airline tube up the one side and suck the air out with your mouth.

  • @oscardog86 I didn't want a system that went all the way down in my aquarium either. That is why I decided to build a DIY overflow box instead of overflow pipe system. Check out my videos and let me know if you need more information about the design.

  • @PalJoey1957 A lot of people prefer not to drill their tanks. Plus, I chose an overflow system so that my water level could be all the way at the top of the tank. Drilling a 1" whole will lower that water level and not allow it to be at the very top of the tank.
