The SImplest Overflow....

[MrRngr94]

Personally I like this guy's idea for overflows. The bulkheads are underwater, but they won't overflow in the event of a power outage. The waterline is actually where the pipe is that's going into the buckets (prefilters).

yea but y not just use 3 inch pipes i garantee u a 3 inch pipe will flow just as fast as an overflowing 1inch....

this will work as well. i used a 2 in pipe and I'm confident it can handle most pumps that are ideal for my tank.
all depends on the 'do-er' of the action really. (Since its DIY).
