    Options For Removing Overflow

    Hello everyone, I love my reef tank but absolutely hate the overflow placement. (Pic attached below) It seems that the overflow itself is just attached via silicone to the glass wall and floor. I am considering plugging the two drilled holes at the bottom and purchasing an overflow kit that...

    Drilled Overflow and Return

    I have just completed the daunting task of drilling 2 holes in my 30G. Consists of two 3/4 inch bulkheads that lead to two 5/8 inch hoses.

    Noob with some sump and plumbing questions

    Hi! I am new to salt water tanks and I have just recently gotten a 75g display tank with a 29g sump. My tank is not drilled yet (that is something that I will be doing soon).

    Corner-flow front panel HELP

    I just purchased this tank and setup, I believe it to be a marineland 90 gallon corner-flo. There should be a front panel on the overflow, it was removed for some reason by the previous owner. Does this panel serve a legitimate use? Has anyone had any luck on finding a replacement; I have...

    Aqua lifter pump

    Hello I ordered a Aqua lifter pump to add to my overflow, and I just found out that it won’t be coming. I picked this pump because it was the only one that I have heard of being used the way I am trying to. I’m planning on using it to remove the air bubbles from my overflow and keep the siphon...

    Bean animal trickle pipe height question

    I just configured this overview and I basically had to put the water level in my overflow box extremely close to the tank water level in order to prevent all of the noise from the water falling into the overflow. Also my emergency pipe has about 1/8 " clearance from the water line. Does this...
