well nothing, just some filter floss like material to act as a strainer over the hole. Remember i have two build in overflow units on each side in the back of the tank.

you need to remove that filter floss from in the overflow. the day them thing clog, it will overflow your tank instead. you need to put a piece of pvc pipe in the hole and reaching nearly 2-3in at d top. drill ah set of 1/4 holes also. then when you have every thing working, you need to throttle down the water that coming from d drain and adjust d pump. water in the overflow should be more than 3/4 way full. less noise and less bubbles in the sump

when you do the adjustment, sometimes you dont see an instant improvement. sometimes you have to wait a couple minutes..................

For some aquarists their fishes is not a pastime rather it is their passion!
