$aint Posted January 2, 2008 Nice, not too obtrusive... what are the in-tank dimensions? any idea on flow rate? Quote Link to comment
freakintiger Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks! It is 5" wide by 3" deep by 3.5" high...not sure of the flow rate, but the siphon tube is 1" and so is the bulkhead on the outside box... Quote Link to comment
freakintiger Posted January 2, 2008 Thanks! I made it! If you want one email me at: rev6.5-6@cox.net Quote Link to comment
jeffreyb325 Posted March 5, 2008 What did you use to cut the teeth on the overflow box? Very nice and very clean! You may look into alternatives to using a vacuum pump for siphon. I used to have a CPR overflow box on a tank at home that required one and hated it because if the pump had problems or the vacuum lines become clogged you can have overflow problems. I opted for one that you initially start the siphon and then it is problem free as it is designed so the U-tube always keeps water in it. Quote Link to comment
14GNANO Posted March 27, 2008 this is probably a REALLY dumb question...but how does that water get from the overflow box over the glass into the other box to get siphoned off to the sump? sorry for being a newb that looks like a great design. how much was it to make? Quote Link to comment
