overflow Q?

[rob22]

how does a all glass aquarium overflow work? i have a new 210 gallon with two overflows. i want to know were the water flows back in to the tank
can any one help. pics please and vids if you can

sounds like the overflows feed the filter....

the returns can just go over the top........i am not sure if this is what you are asking ???

 

[rob22]

so can i do a spray bar or does the water flow back in from the overflow box

I'm pretty sure the over flows go down to the sump and you decide how to pipe the pump back to the tank. Maybe a pic of the tank could help us see what you see though. I'm sure you can plumb some type of spray bar though.

Does it have two overflow boxes, or two holes in the bottom of the tank inside one box? To hide plumbing you can use one of those holes for the return line. If there is one box with two holes and they are different sizes, then that's probably what it's meant for. Either way, you can still do a spraybar over the back of the tank.

There is several ways you could do it. The easiest is to use 2 holes for overflow and 2 for return. Search for Durso standpipe
