- I will be showing you how to build a simple DIY Aquarium overflow just by using PVC pipes. It is not my original design and credit to the actual person who had tough of this idea. I basically did my own modification to make it more sleek and slim to achive a more minimalist design.
This is an alternative method if you are not able to drill any holes in your main tank due to various reason and still want to havea a filteration system using a sump tank.
Remember to glue your PVC pipes once the fitting and size is confirmed and give it a good coat of paint of your own liking to make it look like a professionally build overflow!

cara menangani air tersekat selepas bekalan elektrik terputus bagaiamana bang/
Habis pompa mati hidup lagi tetapi air kadang kadang tidak turun?
@@ErvanVanFrengky kena pastilan tiasa gelembung udara masuk kedalam paip overflow. Ia akan menyebabkan overflow tidak berfungsi dgn betul.
Very nice idea for sharing water pump vacuum cleaner my friend
You are welcome..will continue to share more ideas in the future.
suatu masukan yang bagus utuk pencinta aquarium
Terima kasih
thanks
Super good video!! I love the simple design
Thanks for the kind words
Terima kasih tutorialnya, sangat berguna

Ada lagi satu video overflow..yg tu lebih senang nak buat.
Drain the tank half way slowly drill a hole on the side at the water surface, put a bulk head boom done
With the fish in there?
@@taylorsprincz3624 nahhhhh
Thank you sir, excellent video
Ni tersangatlah padu
in your first example, you cut off the top. That is essential, I am interested in using that round trip system connecting the fish tank to a cooler. If I cut at the top, the water comes into contact with the air and the temperature drops faster.
Awesome tutorial thanks!
You are welcome
Tq bro. Ilmu yg mantap. Penerangan jelas, simple dan menarik. Keep it up. Semoga success. I like and subscribe..
Tq bro for the support..jgn lupa layan video overflow yg lagi satu..yg tu lagi kemas dann simple.
Wah Pecinta over flow juga ya
Love this. Thanks for sharing I will be making one asap!
Glad I could help!
Subscribing now!
Thanks again!
Made this and works perfectly thank you for sharing once again. I have cut the top off like you did. Do you need to keep topping up the water due to potential evaporation now it isn't fully enclosed?
Topping water where? I dont think u need to top up water anywhere. Since the overflow will function all the time. The water in the overflow wont evaporate. The water in ur fish tank will evaporate tho
I dont understand your language but i do really understand with what you doing. Thank you!
Sorry about that as I didnt managed to create subtitles for this particular video. In my new videos, I will make sure I have english subtitles. Stay tune for more videos on my DIY overflow project as I have few more designs to share out. everyone.
@@TheStreamAffair i need help please I wanna make a over flow for a 40 gallon breeder, what pipe do you recommend if I want to drain 400 gall per hour down and pump 530 gph on the return pump?
If ur return pump is 530 gph, then ur overflow needs to be able to drain at least 530 gph or higher, else the overflow won't be able to handle it...the piping used in the video is ANSI (US / UK) standard fitting. The siphon pipe is 15mm and the outer pipe used is 25mm. And for the last design in the video, it is also using the 25mm size. I can't really advice what size to used, maybe you need to do trial and error.
Terima kasih atas perkongsian..mmg tgh mencari utk buat overflow ni..tp 1 pertanyaan..last skali..semua sambungan tu perlu digamkan @ xpayah gam..terima kasih..👍👍👍
Kena gam, klu tak gam takut nanti dia tercabut...sbb buat video demo je, tu pasal tak gam. Takut kena adjust lagi.
Blh try layan video overflow yg lain..ada lagi design yg lain.

Bro... I've try mark 4 method on the pail and it works... but when I put in the aquarium it doesn't drain all the way if power cut and have to manual prime.
Hello,
I'm just discover your tutos, congratulations!
I'm wondering about the noise of that kind of overflow... Is it silencious? If not, which overflow do you recommend the less noisy ?
Best regards
Sébastien
😊
Muchas gracias, lo hicimos y funcionó perfecto
very good
Keren pak....
I was hoping to see mark iii and iv take on the hose as well
I already did one overflow that can support the suction from surface. Just check out the other video
hello sir... we also can borrow the idea of overflow box from reef tank...
but this is superb too... 🙏🙏
Yes, the usage of the pvc pipe is to mimic an overflow box. But the right size of the siphon (inner pipes) and outer pipes needs to be right so that water flow is not restricted.
DIY Aquarium PVC Overflow [Tutorial good video 👍
Great job
Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
Mantap bro!
Terima kasih!!

I don’t see the need for double overflow coz your return pump is there to cycle the fixed volume of water… or you could reduce the pump speed. Anyway, great video. Thanks.
If power goes out and comes back again. Will it start to work the same?
Yes
thanks for ur amazing idea, i just wonder why the flow are too small, where is my mistakes ?
The pipe may not be fully primed or the size of the pipe is small
Hello boss ini klau kepala untuk air masuk dari bawah tu klau smpai ke lantai bawah boleh ke
Terbaik. Untuk outlet syphon, kena sentiasa dalam air atau boleh tergantung macam tu?
Maaf, tak beberapa faham soalan anda
Would love to hear this in English :-)
Im so sorry about it. My older videos are without any english subtitles.
But I think this build is pretty straight forward without any english narration.
@@TheStreamAffair That's OK, you can figure it out. :-)))
@@TheStreamAffair Is the one with the air tubing just quieter ?
I like the double one for more water flow.
U can checkout my other overflow videos . I would recommend the overflow for beginners, its easy to build and flow rate depends on the size of the pipe that you use.
@@TheStreamAffair I will try to find that one, thank you.
Video tutor ke 2 elbow 90° nya uk berapa milimeter ya kak?
Maaf, sy tak faham apa yang ditanya
Nice
Thanks
Bos kenapa tidak di pasang 1 lg 1way valve dan dipasang terbalik utk mengeluarkan angin didalam hose tiubing
Xyah la nak cabut² pijagari masa nak sedut angin dlm paip
Maaf ye ini 1cadangan ja dari sy😅😅😅
Sbb tak suka banyak2 barang, utk saya satu 1 way valve cukup. Sedut udara pun satu kali je..nak pakai picagari pun blh nak sedut pakai mulut pun blh...utk rakaman video, tak pakai mulut, so pakai picagari..project DIY ni tak perlu ikut 100%, klu ngam, blh ikut, tak ngam blh bagi comment dan cadangan masing2. Thanks sbb layan video sy. Jgn lupa sub channel sy utk video2 yg menarik.
y cuando se va la luz y se desceba???
bro, pipe siphon influence flow rate tak? let say sy pakai pipe luar 1.5 inch untuk increase flow rate, pipe siphon better brapa inch?
Sebenarnye kedua-dua influence flow rate..klu pipe siphon besar..tapi outer pipe tak cukup besar..air akan ada rintangan..blh try 3/4" utk siphon pipe klu pipe luar 1.5"..utk diy overflow..memang kena trial and error..kena make sure pump air punya flow rate kurang daripada overflow...
Klu flow rate tak memuaskan, blh try up siphon pipe tu ke 1inch dan tengok ada berbezaan ke tak...
@@TheStreamAffair thanks bro. nak aim 3000 - 3500 LPH 😂😂
Sy cadangkan buat dua..jgn bergantung kepada satu overflow je..klu fail..nanti banjir seluruh rumah..biar ada backup.
Brother mau tanya, pada mark 4 ( tipe overflow ke 4 ). Apakah harus menggunakan dop pada bagian T??
Dop ( penutup pipa )
kamu blh tengok video ini. sy telah buat satu overflow yang lutsinar. selepas air dituang masuk kedalam overflow penutup digunakan untuk mengelakkan udara disedut masuk. ia akan kurangkan bunyi sedutan air

Excellent video demonstrating different versions, but a little difficult to hear your voice. Still, very useful video. Thanks! ^ ^
Thanks for the feedback..yeah it was an older video where I didnt put in any english subtitles at that time.however all my new videos are now accompanied with English subtitles...stay tune for another new video coming up. That is going to be interesting. It has a small form factor and easy to build.
@@TheStreamAffair Thank You.. Looking forward to it.
Bro...boleh ke pvc 1/2 inci ganti dgn tubing...sbb 1inch pvc terlalu besar utk aquarium saya
Design yg mana? Yg mark 1-2 ke? Nak pakai tubing utk siphon to blh..tapi tak nampak kemas la..kena pasti jugak saiz pump yg digunakan..klu flow rate pump terlalu tinggi, overflow tak cukup sempat nak sedut keluar air..so kena balance..klu overflow terlalu kecik, susah nanti.
5:51 please I need all the size of the pvc parts tube you use
For siphon pipe, its 15mm, for the outer pipe, its 25mm.
Hi I'm thinking about building the alternative overflow with 1 1/2" pvc with a venturi, do you think it will be able to handle a 6000L /hr pump? thank you!
Should be able too. 1 1/2 " is pretty big size. Yes u need a venturi to suck out any air Bubbles that may get trapped inside. U should check out my other video where i made a transparent version.
@@TheStreamAffair Thanks for the speedy response, Yeah I have watched all of your videos, I think I like this style the most, Thanks again! I subbed xD
Thanls for the support. I got two more overflow designs coming u soon. Stay tune!
Brader mana beli drill cordless tu? Power
Brand xiaomi..beli masa kat China..rasa shopee ada jual kot.
@@TheStreamAffair terima kasih!
sekiranya pipe teraebut panjang ke dalam air adakah overflow tetap berfungsi atau ada ukuran pendek adalah lebih bagus?
kerna tangki air saya agak besar
Overflow ada dua jenis, yg ditunjukkan disini jenis yg sedut dari atas permukaan air...yg lagi satu video saya, air disedut daripada bawah permukaan air. Sy tak pasti pertanyaan anda, apa yg dimaksudkan dengan paip yg panjang.
Blh la message saya dekat FB page saya (cari nama yang sama), kita bincang disana, ok?
Slm tuan..saya juga bertanya benda yg sama...cuma perincian maksud pertanyaan saudara ini mungkin hujung pvc yg bertutup itu adakah harus mencecah dasar kolam atau boleh juga tergantung....dan adakah perlu sama rata hujung bertutup itu....atau yg sebelah kolam boleh di atas sedikit?
Tidak perlu sampai dasar. Boleh tergantung. Tidak sama rata pada hujung pun boleh.
😅Person ❤😮❤😅😅
Were that 27mm U shape and 34mm T shape? Thanks!
The inner pipes are 15mm and outer pipes are 25mm.
How would you match the pump flow rate with this? I have a similar siphon out of large 1.25 inch pvc but a slightly different design with a wier.
I find it absolutely impossible to match the pump speed to the overflow speed. The water level for the return pump is either going up or down and I'm constantly adjusting the valves to no avail
For surface overflow, all you need to make sure is the max flow rate of ur overflow is larger than your return pump.
Eg. Return pump is 1000L/H and ur overflow is 1500L/H.
This will mean than your overflow can match ur pump return rate anywhere between 1L/H and 1500L/H. But if your pump is having a flow rate of 1600 L/H, means its not balance and your tank will fill up more water than your overflow can siphon out which will cause the imbalance.
Hope this helps.
@@TheStreamAffairThanks for replying. It's not a surface overflow. It's a siphon from 1.25" pvc. So the siphon runs at full speed. So the speed of the pump has no impact on the siphon flow rate.
Unlike an overflow whose rate would increase / decrease to reach equilibrium with the pump, the siphon runs at max until it breaks. Hence I'm constantly fiddling with ball valves at the return end trying to match the siphon speed.
My siphon does not use a hangon box. It's a direct siphon from the tank
Maybe u can connect me on Facebook messenger (look for the same name) and share few photos of ur setup. Maybe that would help as I cannot visualised ur setup at this moment.
@@TheStreamAffair sure. Will do
Pake selang aja jg keluar airnya
Maaf ye..tak beberapa faham apa yg dimaksudkan
Could you please tell me the size of PVC pipe comonent.
The bigger size pipr are 1" and the smaller one are 1/2".
@@TheStreamAffair my pump capacity is 2000L/h. So what size of pipe can i use. PVC D34 and PVC D21 is ok?
You may need to test and see. Because each tank setup is different and may have effect on the flow rate. I cannot really confirm
No subtitles
The english sub is not embedded in the video. You may need to turn it on manually
sir kalau saya guna diameter pipe yg besar blh ke
Diameter lagi besar lagi bagus..bermaksud lebih banyak air dia blh transfer..tapi pipe siphon tu jgn terlalu besar.kena ada jurang antara pipe luar.
Pusing ai
can i get dimensions please
Outer pipe is 25mm, siphon pipe is 15mm
