Okay so i have my fish tank in my garage... this is because i did not want the tank in the house to avoid flooding on the nice wood floor which only leaves upstairs and i didnt want it up there for no one to see.. i have all my reptiles in my garage so the tank fits in.. and this is where i...

so then really they arnt much diffrent its just that the overflow pulls in more surface water which i agree is better ... i think im going to buy a ups for it ...

or is it that the water syphion remains ready because there is still water on the inside and out side overflow box keeping the syphion at a stand by... power comes back and pump restarts along with syphion?

i dont understand the diffrence between a over flow box and just syphioning water out of my tank... right now if my pump were to fail i wouldnt loose any water my sump can take it all the water down to the anti syphion hole then the syphion cuts out but cant restart on its own... wouldnt a over...

if i were you i would make sure that you have a stop valve somewhere between your return pump and aquarium that way you can fine tune the flow rate to match it perfectly if you have a 300gph overflow and a 600gph pump the pumps gunna be to big and pump all the water out.. with the stop valve you...

i hope so i still need my skimmer and live rock and im pist to say it but im gunna need a chiller! thats gunna suck but worth it
