What is a good hob overflow

stdreb27 · 01/31/2007, 11:31 PM

Why makes a really good and large overflow? I'm needed a 1400 gph. And I like the U tube design.

Lifereef is the only 1400gph. I have a hurricane, was 60 bux for 1200gph. Its not as nice as a lifereef, but its not 200 bux either.

That 1200 GPH Hurricane wont actually flow 1200 GPH. Maybe 700 - 800 at best.

SJM, your both correct and wrong at the same time. It won't pull 1200gph stock, but with 4u-tubes instead of 2, it will do 1200-1400. Mine is pumping 1200gph right now as we speak. You just have to mod it, thats all, also, this way if a utube loses syphon, no worries....you still have three left, but i've never lost syphon.

yeah but I his won't fit over the side of my tank. And he said he isn't making another run for a 3 to 4 weeks. After he makes another run of skimmers. So I was looking around I may just wait.

A overflow is an overflow, as long as its a utube.
