      Overflow a DIY for Ponds and Aquariums

      Overflow - a DIY for Ponds and Aquarium

      Overflow

      Hello fellow koi keepers! I hope you're all having a good day.
      A step-by-step video on how to DIY an Overflow for Aquariums and Ponds.
      A water magic I shall show you in this DIY Overflow.
      The way it works seems magical to me because honestly I am not articulate enough to explain how it all really works.
      That's reason I describe this DIY Overflow as magical.

      We tear down this DIY Overflow to see the different components that come into completing one.

      And finally we build a whole new unit just so you could see how simple the whole assembly of this DIY Overflow is.









      Here are come screenshots I took from the video build.

      So basically that's a siphon right?
      The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math!

      Example of a siphon once filled can stop and restart.

      Will this works (if need be) if the distance has of the overflows has to be longer than a few inches? Like a foot or two? (maybe more)
