Re: new overflow?
My problem with overflows is just that--eventually they over flow.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Re: new overflow?
Nobody's nerfect.
I am an overflow nut - I have and operate quite a number of them.
There is likely no form of tank linking that I have not tried and/or used for years. SFAIK, there is no technique which is perfect. All of the available techniques have failure modes, and I have had floods from most or all of them.
FWIW, my current favorite for linking tank at different levels is the CPR overflow boxes. They seem pretty well designed and easy to maintain with good safety margins.

Re: new overflow?
Thank you for your help. I think I have decided that I am just going to keep my eye out for a pre-drilled tank with a built in overflow.
