    just wanted to let fellow members know about my experience with this...

    I just added on to the overflow on my malawi setup and boy oh boy does it work wonders!!!:bigsmile:

    My tank has never been this quiet even after i fitted a larger return pump as well...i am happy!

    @wade thanks for the pics. How silent is it?

    Will post pics of mine when I eventually get around to making it, hopefully soon.
