My DIY 20 gallon long overflow.

[studd muffin]

My dad and I are building an overflow on my tank. I didnt want to use the pvc over flow design, but I gave in. So... We are using 1/2 piping for the overflow. It has a ball valve so we can shut off or control water flow that goes down into the sump. The Rio 400 pump couldnt handle returning water back to the tank so I will have to go exchange for a better one.

Wow, impressive! When do you think you'll be firing it up long term? I would love to see an update on this when you finish it. Looking good!

Got the new pump. Rio Plus 1100. Works like a charm
