ijji,
What pump did you use for your return. I was going to put together something similar to what you have. I need a pump that will go 5'.

ijji,
This sounds like a good setup. I'll be trying to setup a system like this sometime this week. Question is in the diagram you have 2" pvc inside the tank, then another 2" pvc outside is this correct? Also why not just have 2" pvc, then just pvc going down to refugium?

Thanks for the link and info. I'll be trying to get this setup sometime this week.

Hey Ijji do you leave off the m cap once you get the overflow siphoned and water flowing?Never mind I just read the diagram and yes you take it of so you don't lose your prime.This is a great overflow it takes very little room.I have a fifteen gal eclipse I am going to do this with I will put a 10 gal refugium underneath.
