I use the 1200 model on my 125. I have added 2 extra utube's to it to pull 1200gph, but its not lost syphon ever, over a year and a half. Just make sure to get a utube

Lifereef.com one of the best units around...

I completely recommend Lifereef.com also. IMHO, it's the best overflow on the market.

Looks almost exactly like my lifereef box except the emergency outlet (which you could add yourself easily). You'd have to find someone that owns one to ask about the quality, but the design is good.

I have one like the one from pet. I bought mine on ebay. Works good.

I second the Hurricane...mine has never failed.

You may want to re-think the high flow through the overflow and sump. It isn't needed and can be a detriment to nutrient export as well as a source of microbubbles. A slower throughput will enable the skimmer to work better and your macro algae to have more contact with nutrient laden water.

I have a marineland overflow and it works great, can be modded to handle 1200 gph too

I would try again, they have always been very responsive for me. Did you email to the right email address?

I would rate the Amiracle continuous siphon overflow far above and beyond any other overflow on the market!!!
