Its not new.
This is the exact same design as Lifereef.
It's the same design all utube based overflows have.

Lifereef is small and they need to charge more for their product.
It may be superior in build quality and reputation, but the results will be the same.

FYI, if it will fit, you could always try adding one moe utube to your current overflow.

If I ever get flood again with this Aqueon, can I blame you for that ? :wink:

Thanks Jakegr, if I don't get it before you put up for sale, I will buy it from you. 600 GPH is a perfect match for my Eheim pump.

depends on if you set it up right.
Honestly, you wont have any issues if you set it up right.

I would never run an overflow with just one utube or just one drain unless I was very sure I had blocked access to any inverts...like snails or crabs.

I diy'd my current overflow based on lifereef design to add a couple tweaks just for peace of mind.

You can blame me if you like, but the whole point Im trying to make here is that if it does fail (which they can) its because you didnt set it up right.

Thanks Gobytron, I doubt very much if you are a good saleman representative for Aqueon :mrgreen: You are convincing me more than half way there. I will talk to Jeff at J&L and will see if its copying the design from Lifereef and look at the quality.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

I go for honesty.
unless there is comission involved.

I looked at J&L's over flow version today and it is a lot like Lifereef.
