How about "Herbies Ultra Quiet Siphon Overflow"..........
Just kidding ........ :lol: :lol: :lol:
It does work pretty good though, if you are looking for a QUIET reef tank! It does require some slight adjustments from time to time. A gate valve is really the most adaptable valve for this application. A ball valve is just to hard to get the FINE adjustments required to get this system to work properly. An emergency drain shoud be considered mandatory for this mod to work safely and trouble/worry free.
I will post some pics soon of a a custom made external overflow box, with an emergencey drain, that Jeff at Lifereef made for me specifically for this style of overflow system. Its a pretty sweet overflow box, that runs "ULTRA"quiet using this system.
