Siphon Down to Ground and Back Up to Tank?

[hawkiye]

Another question guys. I have an intex external pool pump for the 8' pool can I run the intake line over the top of my tank wall and down into the tank or better through the side about midway down? and should I run pipe down towards the bottom or just midway into the tank? I was hoping to get some water flow by putting the inlet on end and the return from the GB's at the other end. I need to know because the wife decided I need to face the tank with rock so i need to make the hole now if it would be better to have it through the side. Thanks in advance...

I need to do something like with with some NFT tubes that I'd like to build for lettuce and strawberries. Would this work without a bell siphon?

I'm following up that it does work if you place the return underground. I'm assuming as long as the feed side (NFT Tubes) is higher than the return (fishtank) than this will work.

Some types of lettuce work well, I can't say what strawberries will do.
