A Quick Overview/how To On Overflows/sumps/refugiums

[Earthling84]

Hi all. I made a video because many people had questions about my sump setup and how it worked. Also many people wonder about what happens in the event of a power failure or siphon failure, so I showed these examples.

you can check out the sump video and my other videos at... www.youtube.com/earthling1984

the sump video is named - "How to - Aquarium overflow / sump / refugium. Some tips"

Hope this is educational to 'newbies' of sumps. I myself just setup this sump(my first sump tank ever) a few days ago. It isn't a hard thing to setup, but is confusing and scary until you have done it and know how it works. Hopefully my video will help people understand how sumps work.

Happy Fish Keeping

Added a video of a $5 DIY overflow box. You can modify to your needs, simple to make, and cheap. Same vid link as posted above.

added a new video of my newly made 300GPH DIY overflow box. Only cost about $7.50 to make(price of 2 pitchers and some tubing) and it works great and is silent!
