    Default W/D and overflow

    Here is the set up I have made. They are great because you can hide everything in the W/D filter. The whole setup cost me about $12 for the W/D because I had the tank and $10 for the overflow.

    Cool, good job. Technically its not a wet/dry, but you are very close. No reason it wont filter very well. I congratulate you on your creativity.

    how can you control the water outflow with the water inflow to aquarium?
    if anything goes unbalance will this system safe from failure, let say the aquarium be sucked to dry or the aquarium will overflowing because the water is to full?
    Still learning how to get it right

    Just a quick look at the drain pvc, I am guessing that it only goes down 1/3 down the tank. That will be the max that it will drain. As long as the tank below can hold that amount of water, there won't be any issue.
