Just one more question, on the wet/dry setup how do you get the water to drain from the main tank to the filter tank? and what the heck is an overflow? I've ben using power filters for too long! lol Some pics of full setups would be great! Sorry to keep bugging you guys with this same question
one more w/d question

An overflow is usually a hole in the top -back of your tank and when the water reaches this level ,it flows out the hole and down to your sump by gravity(through a hose or pipe of course) Then a pump pushes the water back up into the tank where it overflows . An overflow box is a box with notches or holes in the top that separates the overflow from the main tank. The water flows over the top and into the box, then out the hole. You can also have a siphon type overflow, which doesn't need a hole:it siphons the water over the back tank edge and into a outside overflow box then down to your sump. This is a simplification of course, much info on the net about this. Hope this is helpful.
