Hey Will... I had a very similar overflow for a while.  This one is similar to the CPR style, which uses an aqualifter pump to start/maintain the siphon.  There's a small nipple at top of the black section where the pump is connected.  You fill the tank side of the overflow box with water, start the pump, and it pulls the water up the tank side of the overflow and starts/maintains the siphon.  The one that I had did not come with the pump attachment so to get mine started, you would insert a section of airline tubing into the unit from the tank side, up and over the bend at the top, fill the tank side of the overflow box with water, and suck on the other end of the airline tube until you pulled water up and over the top portion of the box.  A little hard to explain, but it works. 

Hope it helped. 

Now... get some coffee.

 :laugh: i had the same problem at first too.  I was trying to find out how the hell to get water up in the u-tube.  The way i do it now is I run a piece of airline up into the u-tube and suck out the air, thus the water rises and you have a siphon.

I do this same thing, but I'm with Nikki, no tank water in my mouth. I use a 20ml syringe to draw the air out, the crimp the airline, push the syringe in and draw out more air. Works pretty well...

After being in this hobby...then going scuba diving, I had a seriously hard time letting water near my mouth (hated removing the respirator or mask underwater for scuba...NOT cool.)  Too many little creatures in the water that scare me.  Ewwwww.  Sorry...there was my rant.

Well according to the poll it looks like Sunday the 18th it is.  I'm thinking 2pm till??????  I forgot to mention, kids and spouses are welcome I have a 10 yr old girl and a 6yr old boy.  If you want adult beverages you have to provide them.  Now all I need is a head count so I know how much food to make.  Also what kind of things do you guys want to learn about acrylic?

Ride the CBR sissy :P I rode my R6 year long, until the snow came. Layers, and multiple gloves under, and over leather gloves.

Seriously though, I am north, so I'm help :(

I'll be going. But I am a non-smoker; so if any wants to ride w/me it OK. We can stop for smoke breaks if need be.

Just messing with you. Upgrades?

I'm not sure I am even going for sure. I do have a Van, but I would rather drive the Z on such a long trip.

Ironically, I'll be up north in Michigan (GO BLUE!) and thus unable to make it to the meeting... Sadness...

Man, all the SEC love I would have thought we were down south, not in Ohio.

Bring one of those teams up here in late Nov. or early Dec. and see if they're as fast in the snow or cold weather as they are when in the much warmer weather. I'll take The Ohio State University against any SEC team (except Florida) in the snow or cold sleet/rain game.
