I thought that they were supposed to be above as well as below the water line
Great site by the way

I was refering to the pumps,not the bio-media.

I would like to build one of these I just have one question. I think I understand how they work, but what happens if your electric goes out in the middle of the night for 1-2 hours while your asleep? The pump will come back on, but the overflow pipe won't start siphoning, over filling the tank, or am I wrong on this? The reason I ask is I live in the boonies of Ohio, so far out I don't have access to any high speed internet or cable only dialup. And the electric does have a tendency to go out.

I designed mine in the same way, but I had it built by my tank manufacturer in a 120 gallon. This pic is a few years old now:
