how does that over flow work? does it it have a syphon break? sorry never seen that
I believe her sump flow is from right to left. Also seems like she's draining into the skimmer chamber so her water level won't fluctuate.


Your overflow seems like it will work with a manual syphon but I'd be worried on whether or not it would start the syphon again on its own after a disruption--power outage ect. You could be left dealing with your return chamber overflowing from your tank if it doesn't. That's why I never did trust a external overflow--too many potential issues.
