    So i recieved my Eshopps overflow today. Due the the way my stand is built i think i might plumb my overflow according to the pictures??? Does anyone think this will work??? There is a few spots that the 1in drain goes down to 3/4in. Will this affect the drain very much??

    Will work just fine. It will flow just a little less than straight down, but still do well.

    And to add on what he said, remember that you might need to control the RP flow so you dont over-flow that overflow box. Straight down would have been the better design, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    thanks for the help. I'll be using a rio hyperflow 10 rated at 660 gph and 1ft head. I'll be running near 6ft head so im hoping that will drop the gph below 300 which the overflow is rated for.
