Hi Roger.

i received my 1074 today. I am somewhat confused with the concept of how it works. There is a description but I can't make total sense of it without pictures.

Do I need to attach the pipe to the bottom of the box that runs deeper in the aquarium ? What is the purpose of this ?

If the water drops to level O which indicates 0 l/h, doesnt it still syphon water from the pipe below ?

I also received the new recirc pump 1073.04 that I will use for my return. Will I need to wind this power down as the overflow is rated at 900 l/h and the pump is 2,800 l/h ?

Finall question, the recirc pump has metal screws. Are these OK for saltwater use ?

cheers,

Paul.
 
The screws are stainless steel and OK.

The volume will have to be turned down to match the overflow box.

The design of the pipe as you can see from inside the box is such that when the water level drops below the top intake grid it stops taking in water and yes, it should be used.
