its the same overflow only the outlet to the sump is just a bit higher i got it working now and its skimming good
i also made a siphon from the check valve where you start the pvc siphon whith this way IF any bubbles comes in it gets sucket to the sump aswell
and if the pump stops it will suck a bit of the water out of the pvc siphon and then stop whithout breaking it so that when you start the pump again it still works

sorry for my english :P

i dont know how i can edit my post... :P

i wanted to say the most right tube is the part in the aquarium
i just raised the siphon effect making it quiet and less bubbles that can break the siphon
