I have a 10 gal tank doing nothing, was hoping this would work just have to figure out if I can gat into the stand as it is same shape as tank. The skimmer could hang on the side just have to change the intake, I would use a small submerible return pump and a small submer's heater as well. Do you think I am on the right track.

If there is no return flow there should be no over flow form what I have read about. Do you agree.

If your return flow pipe is below the surface of the water it can siphon until siphon breaks. Also the pipes hold more water than you want them to during an outage lol. Drilling a few holes just at water's level in your pipe can solve the siphon issue (I still need to do this!) but you def need to account for the pipe's volume.

Was thinking of using a CPR overflow. A fellow member that I know has one for sale.
