    do not build

    I built my overflow and it works as it should...hehehehe not really. Read all the forums first. Hang-on overflows are "not good." At least that is the vibe I am getting. I do not know of any which work with a hood.? Most you can buy are "hang-on". I have not heard of any good reviews for the ones using separate U tubes or J tubes. But ... I am still learning.

    I have a CPR, It works. Just make sure you have an aqua lifter or a power head attached to it to help get it going when the power goes out. Mine has been working great on my 20gal, and restarts perfectly after every power out test i have done, but i don't trust it.
