Will this work as a sump return? 18G sump up maybe 4ft to a 55G? It's rated at 400GPH.

how would you mod the intake to fit on backwards?

I'm not exactly sure yet. I know other people have used it. I'm just not sure if it'll push enough water up 4 ft. If you have any suggestions I'd love to here them.

that would take 6 elbows if you don't cut the physical box....

Why not test it with a straight pipe / hose and a bucket (outside) first?

I was thinking some flex tube. Would PVC be better/safer?

for a test flex hose is fine.

Ok, but not for anything permanant?

I have used it on my larger tank but it needs to be clamped. You also may have a problem with kinking but you'll figure that out later.

Ok, I'll test it later and let you know how it goes. Also, for an overflow box, could I mod a HOB filter?
