overflow box?

[1tang2nemo]

Hello I bought an overflow box and it has an air tube at the top. There is also a small pump with it. How do I hook them up and where do I put the pump?

Do you have any pictures of it? Do you know what brand and model it is? I have never seen an airtube in an overflow.

I will try to post a pic but I can't figure out how.

Sorry I have never seen an overflow like that. From what I can tell, the pump looks like it goes in your tank and it pumps water into the top of the overflow. From there water can flow either into the overflow or back into the tank through a filter pad. I'm not really sure unless you can provide the brand and model of the overflow. It obviously has an adjustment screw but I can't tell what it's for right now... Don't you have any instructions?

I wish I had instructions, I think I'm going to just put the pump in the tank hook up the line and see what happens.

looks like a cpr type overflow. google it and you can see some pictures of it set up. i think the air pump is so it doesn't lose its siphon.

I googled cpr and found the directions. Thanks for the help.
