OK I thought I had this down but now I am confused as all can be.
I am trying to implement the "Silent and Failsafe Overflow System" modified by Beananimal.
Here is my current setup. I have two overflow boxes in my tank. They both have 9.25" of overflow space, for a total of 18.5" of overflow. Inside of each overflow box is two one inch bulkheads for a total of 4 bulkheads.
I am utilizing a MAG18 for my return with 4' of head which should produce approx. 1350 gph.
Will the following concept work? One of my concerns among others is if the left overflow box by itself can be up with the return pump.
