Can anyone recommend a hang- on type overflow for a 90 gallon reef tank? I have a "nameless" one on my 120 gal, that has the curved tubes, except they always need to be re- siphoned ( a Pain). The only one I have at present for the tank is a "Tom" brand overflow, but I don't think the water exchange is enough. The sump/ refugium will be around 40 gallons, and I'll have to find a pump that will be compatible with the flow rate. Appreciate any advice.

I use a Quiet Flo overflow and am pretty happy with it. For a tank your size, I'd go with the Quiet Flo 1200, which has two u-tubes. Keeps it siphon like a champ!

I have 2 of these, from this seller. Use a Tom Aqualifter pump to keep it primed. They sell a 2-outlet one that flows up to 1200gph I believe.

I have a lifereef overflow. It has been a great product. Never builds up bubbles that have to be siphoned out and it has NEVER lost its siphon. www.lifereef.com/siphon.html

I have 1 Extra Large w/ Divider and 1 Extra large. They both work great. I did add a coupler to raise the pipe. Like .35 at Lowes. Both of the GPH are extremely exagerated.

gah you could make one of those with some tupperware, 1" pvc and some black kylon paint for about $3.50
While I am not debating your DIY skills I seriously doubt what you would make would be the craftmanship of what I have. =) I picked mine up for $30 for the smaller one and $60 for the bigger. They work great so it was worth the money to me.
