Return pipe via overflow pipe

[birkettN]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of routing my return tube up through my overflow pipe to keep everything nice and neat.

Has anybody else done this ? If so how did you go about it ?

I'm pretty set on going this way just need some advice on how best to do it.

Cheers

My tank is like that, and have double overflow, with another pipe running inside the secon one, for cables to go back down to the sump.

@regis did you mount your return nozzle onto your corner overflow box ? Also, where can I get a flow nozzle for the return ?

@Fraser W did the same with his frag tank.. worked very well and shouldn't be too difficult to do

I have a center overflow, look under my name for pics.

Contrary to what I said im getting a return hole drilled.

Would work well on a bean animal overflow, on the emergency channel as this channel is rarely used..
