Well guess that I am at a loss for words, I need a good recomendation for a cheap overflow that actually works. I am short on cash and need to figure out a way to get water to my fuge on my 20 gallon. I also must warn you that I need at least I think 40gph. I am not sure of the return pump yet. I need to check on the header I have, but Ihme (in my honest estamite) I think it is 4 ft. I am thinking of useing a rio of some sorts to get the water back. I just need a good overflow or something like it to draw enough water to the fuge so my pump doesnt uplift too much water ANY IDEAS???????????? :)

IMO overflows are crap...i can never get them to work right. why don't you drill out the refugium, adding a bulkhead. is the 'fuge above or below the tank?

it is below the tank its going to be a 10 gallon under a 20tall. can you bring the overflow to the meeting? I might buy it but I'd need to see it first
