    well gave it a test run last night. having problems with the siphon restarting after i stopped feeding it water. Another problem is my first test was running approx. 700 gph but then i killed the the water to the tank, let the siphon stop, and then restarted the water. It started to siphon again but at only 225 gph. any ideas?

    well after messing with it all day i still cant get a reliable restart to the siphon after i cut the water to the tank, so i went ahead and ordered a overflow kit from glass-*****.com. now im just praying the drilling goes off without a hitch.
