My DIY PVC Overflow; How's my pluming???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looks good. The only thing left is to install the check valve in the top of the pipe where it goes over the tank.
 
looks like its set to drain half your tank if/when the power goes out.. which is bad

Good lookin' out!
Drill a small hole near the top of the pipe that first enters the tank..

notgood lookin out.. drilling a hole in the overflow will make it not restart when the power comes back on... aka it will turn from an overflow into a syphon.. if the problem pipe was taller and at the water line (like it should be) there would be no problem..
 
I want the water line to be about 3-4 inches from the top.
My fish keep banging their heads.
It's a 220.
