    good overflow or plans for one?

    The way I did mine was with the bulkhead fitting...I put a small riser/overflow pipe in it which combined with the siphon tube being cut longer then it, protects from losing a siphon.

    Sump size

    You need an overflow of some type (drilled or hangon) which will bring your water from your tank to the sump, and maintain the siphon when the water flow stops. Once the water is in the sump and finished with what you intended it to be doing (filtering), it is then pumped back to the tank and...

    good overflow or plans for one?

    I made one out of two of the smaller Lee's boxes, a 1 inch "U" tube, 1 inch bulkhead through the bottom, and a 1 inch line tapped into the 1.25 inch line coming from the main tank. The one I made is on a 10 gallon hex next to the main. The water flow to it is a valve tapped into the return line...

As for switching him back to mysis...try giving him a couple of days to get healthy from the move to your tank...then let him be for a couple of days. Offer him the mysis in...

    Yellow tang in a 30 gallon?

    I believe a 30 gallon is way too small for a Yellow Tang of any size. If you have ever watched one...they are swimmers. To coup one in a smaller tank like that would be wrong. Even a small Yellow Tang cruises the tank. Same with the Atlantic Blue Tang.

    what do you guys think??

    Depends on what you are looking at for the gph for the skimmer. You will still need to maintain a good gph for your tank as well. But if both can be met, then it is a good idea. Of my two pumps (2 separate systems), one goes to main tank, refug and also a pressure release back into the sump...
