why the hole in the top endcap wont the water run down the T joint no matter what?
Can someone help? After a month of running, it started to constantly get air in the tube and lose suction. I glued ALL joints and had the one way valve at the top silicon’d to the pipe. I could not figure it out so I went back to my old setup. I really want this to work.
125 gallon tank and trying to use a 40 gallon overflow tank.
dude, you are missing the other half of the setup
Thank you very much for this DIY 😉 Looks great
It can be more than one inch. It just has to be long enough to go over the top edge of the tank and back down the other side outside the tank.
WHAT IF THE POWER OFF OR BLACKOUT?DO U KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION?
Making videos with other peoples designs aye, typical asian bootlegger
quit the “throat clearing (ehem)”…… sounds your not confident bout your video…. just saying dude….
Sometimes I wonder if these videos are all just copies of other YouTube Channel’s ideas…
Ahem ahem ahem keep the noise down
no pump?
look ugly pipes but nice work!
whats the point of the T? I see one side isnt being used
does this system clean the bottom of tank? can i use this system to do that?
Nice video but didn’t show the whole process
And to all the people saying it looks bad… build a 3d background then.
Can you run it with just one overflow?
Put your helmet back on Iskandar. I have a 40 gallon with dual 24″ overflows with a Dripmaster Powerhead.
Is this overflow design quiet? I plan to use it on my aquarium in my bedroom and I don’t want noise. Is it silent?
It’s okay if i use 1 ½ inch PVC bro?
Asian ppl so damn intelligent.
ok i’m getting stuck on 1 small part, about 3 minutes into the video he kinda glosses right over the part about getting the syphon started, I understand the one-way valve, but how exactly do you get the water to start moving?? seems to me that if you just start sucking the air out of the tube its going to start sucking air from the entire pipe system, and that could take forever, how do you only suck the air out of the tube inside the tank? i’m sure i’m missing something really simple…I hope
OK so I have a 75gal tall. I have a 700gph pump with 1/2 inch inputs. I want to run the full 700gph what size pipe should I use for the over flow
Anybody know what dimensions this tank is? It look great
what kaind of check valve do u use?
I like this solution… especially if your power goes off… you will put only what is in your inside your pipe + water lvl into the sump tank…Just need to make sure that when you build your sump you have enough room for what is up to the water lvl + pipe. Thinking about using this solution for my 10″ sump
Hi Curtis thank you very much for that video I am very interested in learning more I just got a 55 gallon aquarium I bought it used and it has a overflow tank I want to try to hook it up in the manner that you are doing with that system
Wow Thanks so much guys. Loved the easy lay out.
