on the 240/150 48 gpd and on the 135 12 gpd. equates to 336 per week on the 240/150 and 84 per week on the 135. so far 60 gallons per day total. would like to add another .5 gph on my 55, 20, and 75

How did you do the drain outlet and control the outlet flow? It looks great, I might have to try it on my new tank!

thanks a lot. the drain outlet is basically a version of an overflow box ona much smaller scale. it will only drain as much as the drip is letting out. im gonna doa couple more and will do a video on how the overflow works as well
