Great question, I don’t speak mandarin so their website is not helpful to me[emoji23] I guess they were showcased at RAP but I can’t find any US vendors

Well Either i'm going to try to get multiple frogfish as close to the same size as humanly possible at once and add them all at the same time, OR if theres really bad odds of success then I'll probably get one thats insanely cool, or largeHow do you plan to prevent your frogfish from eating each other?
I will definitely keep that in mind during set up for best possible chances at keeping it safeI used an HOB for some years now, and I know for sure, that every thing that potentially can fail - will fail at some point.
That's why I REALLY recommend some kind of float switch to turn of your return pump. Tunze has a great option (7607/2 ).
My second rekommandation is to drill an extra drain line.
But I have descried this in detail here:

Lifereef is where you want to be looking. Jeff has been making his overflows for decades and I dare you to find a story where one has failed. Before I decided to take the plunge and drill my tank his overflow was what I was set on buying. However even the best overflow requires cleaning from time to time so if you do go on the HOB route make sure to maintain your overflow properly.
Lifereef or eshopps, can't go wrong with this type of overflow. I've had my eshopps running now for 5 years without any issues.I’m thinking about taking the risk with an hob overflow and Lifereef has been mentioned on most sites I’ve been to.
Do you still say his are worth it? If so, I’ll probably put in an order.
No overfill failures in 30 years is a pretty big selling point if it’s true!

I have a Lifereef and it is great quality build for sure. I have since drilled my tank because of overflow. Twice. I won't do HOB overflows again (except for emergency setups of course.)
Factors that can lead to floods:
a) powerhead turbulence slosh creates bubbles that then accumulate in the overflow u-tube.
b) You don't keep the tube clean enough
c) You have too much lateral run over to the sump
d) not enough flow to remove bubbles from the u-tube
some combination of those factors led to my troubles. It ran fine for a year straight but then it did not.
It is not that syphon is lost, but that trapped air impedes the flow out while the return pump over fills.
I'd triple confirm that the glass is non-tempered, buy the eshopps eclipse, and spend ten minutes drilling & installing. A lot less time than cleaning up after a flood.
If you have enough of (D) you won't experience (A). In the 5 years I've never had bubbles collect in the U-tube. I think a lot of the problems experienced with these overflows was mismatched pumps to the overflow. At under $10, I'll just replace the U-tube when it gets too dirty to clean. I always keep a spare on hand.I have a Lifereef and it is great quality build for sure. I have since drilled my tank because of overflow. Twice.

In my situation the only way I could get a flood was the siphon from the return line if the pump shut off flooding the sump. I drilled a small hole in the return just under the water surface to stop the siphon. I also pointed the return nozzle closer to the surface in case the hole gets blocked for any reason as a second siphon break.
Can I see a pic of how you set up your double overflow from lifereef?! I have a 40B and a reef 75 sump. I'm trying to plumb it but not sure exactly where the second drain pipe should run seeing as though there is only one attachment for sump drain on the reef 75 sumpI'd go life reef. I had the double overflow set up and admittedly was awful about cleaning it and that sucker just kept going and going.
