    BUilding an overflow box...

    Benifits = cleaner setup, more reliable, quieter, and more fail safe. You shouldn't need to drill the bottom of the tank. Just build a coast to...

    Fuge - Am I doing this right?

    Having the drains split on this design is pointless. The fuge would be fed fromm the skimmer section. I would do a center return like others have...

    Re-plumbing my tank

    I think its possible to do it with 2 standpipes. It's called a "Herbie" style system. You just lose one of the backup features. I've gotta get off of...

    Re-plumbing my tank

    Exactly right. Starfish, the drain that is split and has 2 ball valves on it, is running in a "continuous siphon" during normal operation....

    This is more than likely your whole problem. That "little siphon thing" is on there for a reason lol. As to how it exactly works, you'll have to ask...

    No, in the picture you posted, the drains are t'd on the outside with a cap on top. They are the 2 pipes in the center. Your returns are the pipes on...

    The overflow will have the same amount of water in it. The drains will only drain as fast as the pump is returning water. The drains should have no...
