Ok so I'm currently running two overflows to keep the tank filtering properly. I was wondering tho, why can't I go buy 1.5" PVC and two 90 elbows and make my own u tube to increase the amount of water I syphin? Does anyone think it's possible or will the tiny gaps between each connection cause it to break? Is there any Other material I can use?
PVC U-TUBE?

we are talking about siphon overflows right? ya you can add siphon lines to increase the siphon speed. Im guessing though that the siphon speed is probally not the bottleneck though. I would imagine the bottleneck is the down tube from the over flow. Its not a siphon so the flow it can handle is alot less. There are some ways to "super charge" a siphon overflow. But I need more info, what diameter are the siphon tubes? how many siphon tubes does it have? what dia is the downtube? If you are going to buy some pvc I would probally go a different route. But ill explain that after I get some specifics on the overflow you are using.
...just read my post over...I think thats a record for how many times the word "siphon" was used lol
