Perfect shot! That's exactly where the water level should be for those who ask.

Actually, there is no fudge factor room. The overflow is maxed out right now while it is new. As it ages and the flow drops, the water level will rise. A second overflow is warranted.

Not on this one,ball valves are $ i didnt wanna spend.

A ball valve is only to tune the system to control noise. As long as noise isn't an issue, it is fine without one.

I made the PVC overflow thing and I cant find a "check valve."

Is there any other name for it or something?

Where can I find it in Home Depot?
 
ok thanks.
 
I think this is the simplest way...here I included 2 options ,you can either make a hole on the bottom of the tank or at the side of your tank,you can use a power drill to make a hole on your tank(use the tip that is used in making a hole in a glass) never rush your glass when drilling it.. just make a steady hand and let the drill use its weight to prick the glass... you can choose on a variety of diameter you like,its best to have the biggest possible PVC pipe for it to accompany the most strongest water pump....comments...comments....comments...thanx:) sorry for the presentation:grinno: I unninstalled my sketchup:grinno:
