What does a fish tank overflow do?
Overflows are part of a special type of filtration called a 'sump filter' or sometimes called a 'trickle filter'. Basically the main aquarium has a second, smaller aquarium underneath, usually stored inside the aquarium stand. This second aquarium is called a sump, and contains all of the filtration and heating equipment usually housed in the main aquarium. Water is pumped up from the sump into the main tank, and then returned to the sump from the aquarium via the Overflow. The overflow is basically how the water returns to the sump to be filtered and heated. It is genreally a grated plastic or acrylic enclosure, with a hole and a bulkhead. Water drains through the bulkhead and returns to the sump via a tube.
