2 DIY overflows, does intake pipes on both have to be EXACT

[Linemanbrad]

I just made another overflow because CHOMPERS said it would be better than 1

does it matter if one is about 1/4 of an inch lower on the intake?

Hey,

just by logic, the higher one won't take any water in, since the water level won't raise that high.

Your choice, as a backup not the worst idea, but it won't be used regularly.

would need to see how the overflow is designed to know if the level of the intake makes any difference

well, I just measured and where they come out of the pipes is a different length but the overall length of the pipe is the same length...

if that makes any sense...

in other words they will be at the same level and take in the same amount of water

They should be fine.
