Still irrelevant given the differing markets, so what was the point of telling me yours was cheaper?

very nice you wanna fill us in on a ballpark price the whole thing set you back? or is it a secret?

As previous mentioned, it was around AUD$400-450 all up, same price as an Eheim Classic 2250 or slightly more than a Fluval FX5 over here (from a cheap source).

I'm nowhere near a Hydraulics Engineer, so here's an informative article.

Basically, once initially primed, it creates a siphon. If the water level drops below the intake holes in the initial section (inside the tank), in a blackout for example, once the pump kicks back in and the water level rises back above the holes and begins flowing in, the siphon re-engages.

For those possibly interested, my overflow runs at around 2400Lph, or ~600Gph.

Thank you, Japes. That article was indeed very informative :) I will try to build that overflow and see how it works :) That should be my first step for my sump filter ;)

Cheers, mate :)

Now I just hope I find all the required materials here (the Krylon might perhaps be asking for the moon)...
