Can I hang a Tunze 7200 Powerhead on the inside of the built in overflow on my 75g RR tank? Then attach pvc pipe to the output end of the powerhead and kinda build the piping back up over the overflow wall back to the tank , thereby hiding the powerhead in the overflow. I just need a powerhead in one are of my tank where the flow is slower then i would like, really two areas , but the most important one is near this overflow.
What is the output size on this pump, can PVC be glued to it?Or flex pipe with a clamp?
My current pump is a T4 to two sea swirls, so I just need a little flow where the sea swirls dont make it.
 
The output is 25mm. I don't recommend this because you will drastically reduce the flow, probably cut it in half with the two 90 degrees bends. It is a lower pressure flow and not meant for use outside of in tank powerhead. You would need to get the Tunze plumbing kit to do it so you would have the right size PVC. I still don't recommend it.
