Hi,
I want to add an extra overflow for my 850l tank. The current overflow that I have is not sufficient.

At this stage I don't want to drill any new holes in the tank. So needs a custom overflow box. It can be an off the shelf or custom build model.

Thanks in advance!
 
its not the joints that leak. It is small bubbles that get pulled down with the flow.

Bigger return pump and more bubbles get pulled down.

One solution is to shift the T-piece on the outside higher. That will make the water level in the inner inlet pipe higher. With the T-piece too low, the running water level inside is low enough and bubble goes via the first set of elbows too easy.

The guy in that video got such a low turnover rate, doubt he got even enough flow to pull bubbles past the first bend.
