Way cool!
A couple quick questions from someone who is not very DIY savvy:
First, what size is your tank?
Second, in the first close-up shot, it looks like the Overflow pipe is one big U. In the next shot, with the canister hose attached, it looks like there's an additional portion as well. I guess I'm just not understanding exactly what the overflow is meant to look like once everything's all put together but before it goes onto the tank.
Hold my hand and walk a wide-eyed newbie through it?

Good video.
I do like the pipe in a pipe design for the surface skimming. Looks very compact much more so that my just using elbows and running the pipe back up to the surface.
Just a nit from the video. if you break siphon your display should not flood. the sump shoud run dry before that happens.
FWIW here is a thread on my such as they are pvc overflows:
