It is bought from a store...but then it was midnight-ized...

I wonder if a guy could use eggcrate?...Hrmmmm
**looks at a crap-load of eggcrate scrap and elbows**

holes are too big

That's the "Tee" idea I was telling you about a long time ago! That's not the midnight twist is it lol.

not the t part "but thanks for that idea lol"

Glad the Tee worked!! I wish I would have done that on mine. Speaking from experience, an aqualifter is worth it's weight in gold on a DIY overflow

How's that 4000 working?

so it continually sucks out the air?
why would you need that?
lol

It keeps the overflow primed...upon a poweroutage, the syphon is broken and the flow is stopped.
When the power returns the pump, pumps out the air and the overflow regains the syphon...

A ingenious idea actually....

hmm
i havent sucked out any air since i started my overflow the first time
power outages,water changes,everything,and i still dont suck more out
working fine so far lol

I think it also keeps them from slurping and gurgling...I'm sure Rallysman will telll ya...

I beleive they are strictly for removing the air in the pipes. Just a cheap safety precaution.
