    Just curious, has anyone made a Mame style overflow?

    That's a new one for me, haven't heard of it but will do some reading. Found this, a bit pricy for me, but it is blown glass after all !!

    The Mame Overflow is the nano overflow of our dreams that we always wanted but never knew existed. Mame is by far our favorite Japanese manufacturer of boutique aquarium products: first we had the Mame Skimmer, then the Mame Kidney Ecolyte and now we have the Mame Nano Overflow. Before you get all caught up in how it looks, keep in mind that the design also features the return line assembly and some noise dampening features so that the nano overflow can do it’s thing like a ninja. Like the Mame Skimmer III, The Mame Overflow is made from all hand blown glass and it is rated for nano reefs up to 25 gallons small. The whole assembly is 7.5cm x 10.7cm x 16.5cm high so needless to say the Mame Nano Overflow is very compact. This nano overflow is rated for flowrates from 90-180 gph/360-720 lph and should the siphon break due to a power outage or otherwise, mame’s Overflow will automatically recover the siphon, presumably from the venturi-like connection we see from teh return to the overflow t00b. The fine handcrafted Mame Nano Overflow is priced at 15,980 yen (~$170) but for a limited time the price is 12,980 Yen or just about $138 and as far as we know the Mame Overflow is only available in Japan. Follow the break for several more angles on the Mame Nano Overflow and thanks to Taka for the human Japanese translation.
