    hey folks i have been planning on building a refugium/sump to better filtrate my reef. i want to feed it via an overflow or weir setup. i have looked at the cpr ones and they are pricey and have mixed reviews. are they worth it or does somebody have a better product they are using? i of course would prefer one that will start re-siphonig if the power cuts out. any advice would help, thanks.

    I bought this unit on ebay for $25 and have been very pleased with it. It does restart itself after a power outage as long as no air gets in the top. If you want to be sure, et an aqualifter pump to go with it and it will prevent air from stopping the siphon.
