Hi Joey, these were the type of videos that originally got me following you. Please start making more of these types of DIY videos again as that's what made you king of DIY.

Hey folks, i'm also on Facebook. I post pictures, more videos and updates there: facebook.com/UaruJoey

Love your work and vids. They have become crucial to my next big sump build for 2x2ft and 2x4ft tanks. All plumbed together. If I may add. The only addition I have looked to make, at the top of the overflow, where you drill in the air pipe, drill the other end into the inlet. Creating a venturi, so the airlift pump isn't required

Just like to say thank you for this video King of DIY! Just finished the upgrade for my 120 gallon oscar tank- The return pump is 700 gph and after some tweaks is handling the flow no problem - saved me from drilling the tank - Thanks again! Keep 'em coming!

Nicely done... I'm going to try this out on my 55gal this weekend... I was thinking of drilling my tank but this is definitely look much nice... Lots of positives with only the priming seems like an issue but I got muscle sitting on my shoulder waiting to be used! :) THE KING OF DIY - Advice was appreciated... Keep up the solid work, I would buy your book if i had the extra $$$...

Hey bro. I just want to say thanx. I made your first overflow and had hardly any flow at all and just upgraded it with this. I just drilled my holes instead of slotting it and it works exactly as you said. Thanx again!!!!!

Great video... But i was wondering if instead of using an airpumpe, hooking up an Diffusor from the return line would work to. and be completely automatic?

Have you say your videos have gotten a lot better over the years. Just watched on from 2011 i think it was. Keep up the good work man.

This video was awesome and the timing is great too seeing as I'm planning on redoing my overflow and sump. I now have a new design that looks really amazing, I cant wait to try it out.

Thanks Joey, I've been wanting to increase my flow rate. I did have the fish getting sucked down problem, but it was a simple fix, I just capped just below the water line, well it was more of a ring that slipped over the top, but it did the job pefectly. This idea is much better for the overflow. Thanks again!!!!!!!

Still having great success with the original version of this overflow. I don't really mind the 2 pipes and some fish actually use it as shelter during lights out. I've had great flow for months and it's silent. I also put a PVC elbow on the intake then stuck a filter intake screen in that to protect fish from being swallowed. This also make this overflow extremely quiet. Great vid!

+BJ Nunn Agreed. Its rally just a matter of preference.

This is a very simple overflow to follow, i was just wondering if it is necessary to have the pcv go straight to the bottom of the tank, or perhaps lets say half the length of the tank?

Making this right now, a little concerned with the sizing for a 40B though, I followed the instructions from the first video and cut the lengths of my pipe to 16", which is the height of the tank, but there's less than 1/2" of clearance from the bottom to the opening. I'm also testing it out with a knockout plug instead of a cap, 3" caps are a little expensive, so we'll see how it goes. Any problem running a pipe in the tank that's a little shorter, at most 2", than the rest of them?

An awesome design...My 75 gallon main & 20 gallon sump build prototype works great. Can't wait to get it all finished. Love the weir. Can't say enough about it. - Road Dog 1

Built this style and it works like a CHARM. Thank you so much for getting me into this. I went from a guy not knowing about sizing, PVC pipes, and how this style of filtration to actually knowing something and putting this all together.

No it isn't but there are videos that show how to combat the noise of this (since its the water falling down the pipe). With the drilled holes you see there there is a solution to this using a stockman standpipe with the proper materials you can make on your own. There are a few videos, you should look into it!

You can, but you have to put an endcap at the top of the pipe. You have to drill the endcap so the intake tube can fit in there. Let me know if you have any questions.

When you make this, you make 2 for redundancy so can you run a splitter off you aqualifter pump to sustain primes on both overflows? As long as you put a check valve?

Thank you. Your videos have been really helpful as I prepare a 100 gallon aquarium. Hello from Guam.

Hi Joey, You talked about having the water level about one inch high on the skimmer... Is it, as I expect, by controling the flow of the siphon? Thank you for the MANY informative videos. Wayne

I just made one of these thanks Joey ! Had it flowing at 225gph approx when I tested it. Will post a pic when I have it in the tank!

Is there a required relationship between the level of the intake within the weir and the output? Thanks.

Hi, great work. I have question, can i use this idea in underground water tank? Because I didn't prepare overflow pipe before 😢

You must 100% move the T up higher to stop the overflow from emptying the pipe and losing prime. After a several minute power outage and the pump turns back on, it floods out t the tank the way you have this built. I know cause I built several trying to get it right and the T was the issue to

Mine works fine the way it shows in the video. Instead of a check valve, I ran it to a powerhead air intake that I have. Anytime there is a power failure, when everything turns back on the powerhead clears out the air pocket in the overflow and it take off again. Also, I put a small hole in the return line just below the water surface so if there is ever a back syphon to the sump, it will only drain water back until that little hole is breathing in air. Double redundancy, and best of all --- NO WET CARPET!

I think it's a great idea! Thanks. I have watched your channel since you made the original.

Instead of using an aqua lifter, you can use a power head with an air intake. This will double up for flow through the tank as well as ensuring the overflow is primed in the event of a power outage. Have used this method on many overflows in the past and it works well.

Both this and the 'original' design have their specific 'niche' applications. I use the original design (with ball valve added to the drain pipe connection) for water exchanges with aged (Municipal) water, (rather than a constant water exchange system). The original design is better at 'skimming' the occasional bacterial surface film (which might form if you accidentally overfeed). straight down the drain. --The design presented in this video however, merely concentrates that film at the base of its larger in tank 'well' and when shut off during periods of non use allows all of that trapped bacterial film to redistribute across the take surface again.

What a simple but great design. I have been looking for a way to build something without drilling the tank, but limits the amount of water that back. This will work perfectly.

Hey Joey, thanks so much for taking the time to put together and share your videos. I've built my overflow following your diy video. I did opt to omit the optional air tube with the pump you mentioned, primarily to keep the cleanest look but also one less thing to buy and contend with. Without it, it is performing just fine with no loss of siphon issues I will say my unit is quite loud with a gurgling noise, is that because I did not use the optional airline? Thanks again for sharing.

Working perfectly fine. Great video thanks a ton. Just one question after all the fittings have been done , is there any to remove the pipe(inlet) inside the aquarium for cleaning purpose?

Hi, can you please explain why you need to keep the check pump running all of the time? I really like your setup and was getting ready to do the old method but this is way better. You also answered my question I've been having about what paint to use! thanks a lot very useful vid.

I made an excellent overflow by putting a bulkhead in an old hanging filter. It has it's own suction with weir and you can use the pump to get flow started. Works perfectly and if you lose power siphon automatically breaks so no overfill.

ive been using the first style overflow u made for years now. Only just saw this upgrade the other day. looks so much better. But mine seems to be a little more noisy. Is there any way to quiet it ?

Hi Joey, I have recently made your DIY overflow for my saltwater aquarium, however I have a dilemma. In order to make the overflow fail proof I would need the Toms Aqua Lifter pump that you recommended in order to suction out the air. The dilemma is that I'm Australian and so the 115 volt pump would be 240 volt, so therefore it cannot be used because it would literally blow up. I'd really appreciate if you would take the time to provide me with any suggestions as I have not been able to find another pump of the same function available. Much appreciated.

questuon. the "fail proof pump", is there a posibility that it could pick up trash and get blocked? like the idea of adding this, but I got to wondering about this posibility. Tha k you very much for all your great vids

First thing, this system works great. One problem that you didn't cover with this Overflow is what happens during a power outage. Yes your water will stop on the siphon side but if your return line is still below that point, it will continue on the return side. The way i fixed this problem was to drill a small hole on the return line at the same level as the siphon side. If you dont then your sump with overflow on to the floor. Might want to cover that side of this project as well if you haven't already. BTW great channel Thanks.

I used a 3" weir'd setup with 1" lines. My hope and logic tells me more surface skimming! 😀 I did add a pvc ball valve and a union before sump input to aid in starting the prime and working on sump in the future. Now I just have to install flooring throughout the house lol! Thanks for the easy diy video Retail cost in USA was approximately $80 for all pvc, valve, unions, fittings... Now I just need to paint 🤣

I made one exactly the same and it works perfectly fine. Thank you for all your help

I love both of your videos. Now this video is showing that I can get 60% more flow form the new style. I have a 265 gallon tank and was told I would need about 1,200 to 1,500 GPH. So using the numbers from your first video and with the new style I guess would need to use one 1” pipe and one 1.1/4” pipe to get 1,528 or one 1 ½” pipe to get 1,344. If I did my math right. Another question is does the overflow pipe have to go so far down the weir pipe? I want to keep the overflow pipe a couple of inches below the water line just in case something happens and I don’t drain my whole tank out.

Well I had my doubts. It didn't work well at first, BUT after I figured out that my issue was air leaking in (during dry fit testing) and I played with the tubes to get a better seal...... Whoosh! Serious flow bro! Thanks!

I have a question about these, I used one for a limited time in the past but I had to quit the hobby for a little while shortly after so I never got to test this out. Can you hook the outflow up to a open air wet/dry without worrying about the siphon breaking during a power outage or for any other reason if constructed correctly?

Great update u addressed all my doubts with the mk1 👍

hello joey I build your upgrade overflow and is working fine I use your PVC pipe measurements and I'm experiencing lots of foam excessive bubbles also when I turn the pump off to do maintenance I loose return flow. I'm not using the check valve what went wrong?

Just modified the original and added in the weir. Working great so far and just as quiet as the last. I'll have to make the holes bigger I think because the water is dropping really far

Hi, Do you have idea of an overflow that clean the surface of the tank and also the bottom of the tank ... that would be really great... Thanks...

does the top pvc used to prime it have to be exposed to air, or can it be covered after priming it?

Hi Joey, are you presently still running your overflow with the Toms aqua lifter pump? How has it been working for you? My overflow keeps losing prime and my tanks are overflowing every other week or so. Tried everything and this is the only thing left for me to try. Drilling my tanks is not an option as I have only been able to successfully drill 3 out of 6 55 Gallon tanks. Let me know Keith

Must say I enjoy your DIY and have done quit a few of them. I am setting up a 160 gallon tank (keeping Koi's) planning on putting 2 on each end of the tank your corner Super Charge corner sponge filter, but also wanted to add in the center your overflow project that will go to a sump and return via pump.

your Viedeos very good , I would ask you a question what kind of paint can I use for overflow PVC that does not harm my fish thanks if you can help

Good morning! I'm setting up a 90 gallon in my living room, I would like to have a automatic water change system, as you have educated us on how to complete. The supple water and drains will run in my walls for cosmetic purposes. So will the drip system work with the overflow?

Glad you're finally revealing the new series. That's exciting! So this one is set up as a siphon style. This should have much more flow since there are less bends. If the pump stops, even though more water isn't overflowing into the tank won't the siphon still be removing water until it drains the overflow tube down to where the opening of the siphon is? Then, when the pump starts up again, the water will be filling up but I don't think the overflow will be primed. The Aqualifter will help keep the siphon when running but, in this case, I don't think it'll be capable of priming the overflow. I'm bringing up these concerns because I want to build this! This is a much better looking overflow and similar to how I modified the old design but having the two pipes is unsightly and I was concerned about flow rates. Krylon Fusion is awesome for these projects! Thanks Joey.

+The king of DIY Hey Joey. I'm working on assembling this project and have an interesting question for you. Why do we need to raise up the T connector that's on the end of the system, the one that connects the "vertical vent" to the pipe leading to the sump? We have a 90 elbow right before the T but if we cut out that last elbow wouldn't we be able to save a slight amount of resistance? (shorter pipe, less plumbing). The middle Part of the T could be pointed towards the pipe leading to the tank instead of the sump, the top goes to the vertical vent and the bottom leads to the sump. I think I've answered the question myself but want to confirm. Doing this would that break the siphon (likely just after it is formed from being primed) by preventing the water from remaining on the bottom side of the overflow.

Thanks for this. I combined your Overflow Weir, with the guy who makes drift wood out of pvc’s Technique. You almost can’t tell it’s a filter.

Is it possible to use furniture grade pvc tubing for this application? I found some clear pvc tubing I'd really like to start plumbing all my tanks with this. Max PSI is 45. Thanks in advance.

In theory, couldn't you also shorten the vertical pipes drastically? From my understanding, the lower outside U of the overflow shouldn't have to be so low, you could save on PVC by making the vertical pipe shorter so long as the T is still above the U but below the water level of the tank, right? Might make it a bit more compact. I ask as I'm building similar, but vertical height above the sump is limited.

With this new design do you still need to have 2 systems in case one gets blocked so the other 1 can still run the required flow rate ? one is easier to hide than 2 I also ask because you mentioned it was 60 % more efficient so if I needed 1.5" before with this design I could get away with using just 1" right ?.

Should the oversized stand pipe be full of water or is it always a waterfall effect across the weir and down to the suction location? Thanks in advance.

This works very well for my tempered-glass reef tank, thanks Joey. But adding the airline to siphon the top-U is an absolute necessity, otherwise you can lose suction overtime.

Can drilling a hole in the tube to make it fail proof also be applied to a standard overflow box tube?
