I wouldnt go for the "cheapest" if I were you.
Check out the LifeReef overflow, its the best and most reliable, runs about $100

Or talk to Ace. He says the one he made has been running for months and still doesn't have any air bubbles. When I get around to doing one for my 55, that's where I'm going.

Or if you live in Austin PM me for a price on a new dual overflow box, giant wet/dry sump and a brand new Eehim 1260 return pump for a little less money than the pump sells for new.

I totally agree with Ross. I had some much trouble with my CPR. I work out of town and it would loose syphon on a regular basis, even with the aqualifter pump. After MANY obscene phone calls from my wife, I had to put red tape on everything she needed to unplug to eliminate water everywhere. Ross drilled my 135g for 2" overflows , ace built my calfo and everything works great.

Plus i can drill a hole or two for cheaper than an overflow.
