I need a container that I can run a tube into and has a tube or spout below the rim that would allow for overflow. Basically I run my tube from my skimmer into a bottle which sometimes overflows, and it would be nice for it to overflow back into my sump instead of everywhere else.

My skimmer is a Super Skimmer piece of **** that I had to replace the piece of **** Rio that burned out a while back and killed half of my fish. When I went to replace it with another Rio (didn't) I could not find one with a needle wheel, even after contacting Taam and Coralife. Because of this, everyday I have to inspect and fine tune the skimmer to avert problems like overproduction or lack thereof. BTW, stay away from Coralife products, it seems that everything that I have had from them is crap and breaks rather quickly. My Coralife lights are falling apart and they are less than a year old.

What about one of those specially designed containers for protein skimmers. They basically have a ping pong ball in them that floats to the top when the container is full and forces the water back to the skimmer cup, where it overflows harmlessly back into the sump.
