don't forget the air check valve up top.

Yea, I got that. I read it in the post that it isn't really necessary but makes things a lot easier. So I look around and found one amongst my aquarium stuff, used a drill to drill a hole on one of the 90 pvc pipes, stuck the air check valve in there and used solvent cement to glue it. To my surprise I was connecting some of the tubes, my arm touched the structure with the air valve, it fell together and the air valve broke, So I go again try to put it back together this time I used Silicone Sealant. It's drying outside now. I hope it works.

That's all for now folks,
Yuri.

this is where I was talking about putting vacuum pump

don't forget the air check valve up top.

If it looses siphon it will it will flood somewhere.

Thanks for noticing. lol Apparently silicone and I don't mix pretty well. After I did that mess, I tried to fix it with a razor blade. lol

Alright: Update time.

Update on this.

I have fully constructed the overflow, glued all the parts that are outside of the tank. Went to Wal Mart and got a can of Krylon Fusion paint. Painted the whole structure black (paints dries pretty quick, only 15 minutes.)
Fishined checking the sump for the Silicone stability.

Tonight I hooked everything up and it ran amazingly smoothly. I did not test it b4 hooking it up to the tank, since it had been tested already and proven to work. I did simulate a power failure once it was hooked up and it seemed to work fine. No overflow, no flooding.

One problem though:
Overflow's output is making quite a lot of noise. But it's a fixable prob. The output is making water "noise." Basically water falling on top of water. This is due to a small size tube, I will add a bigger one tomorrow w/ holes and it should work.

Will post pics when it's all done.

It works great...I made one a few weeks ago for my 20L going into my 10Gal fuge... I did not run a air check (don't really trust them) just tie off the air line...I unplug my return pump every time I feed, it always starts right back up.

Good luck with it.
