    I got my new overflow installed today and man what a difference, this thing is moving a lot of water. its a utube style with duel bulkheads.
    I got the pf-1000 with max flow rate of 900 gph. I have one side going to the refuge and the other to my sump.the only difference from the one in the pic is it came with one u tube which is 1 1/2 diameter (huge).I know its probably allot of a 55 gal but I wanted allot of flow. I'll post some pics tomorrow when the lights are on.

    I have been using 4 of these (well not these, but the smaller version) for my FW breeding setup and it keeps sucking up the fish.

    Then they get stuck in the overflow box, or on the filter pad stuff.

    I'm working on getting something different, I just need to talk to the guy I got them from.

    Let us know how is works.
