overflow

Hey everyone, I'm getting a 96" x 30" x 30" acrylic tank for a mixed reef aquarium, should be roughly 360 gallons with a 120 gallon sump. Would the Modular Marine 3000gph low profile overflow and EcoTech Vectra L2 (3100gph) return pump be sufficient for an overflow and return pump? (I'll have...

Hello guys, im finishing my new 200 gal setup , the person helping me with the tank installed the two 1 1/2 overflow bulkheads with straight connections to a 90 degree and straight down to the sump. After we started the system the noise become really loud, my home feels like to have a...

Hi all Ive had my bean animal set up for about 9 months. Lately it’s taking a lot longer to purge and level out after I feed. Ive cleaned the pipes in the overflow, didn’t find that much detritus and when my gate valve or ball valve is open independently the flow seems to be good. Does anyone...

Hello everyone! I'm sorta new to the hobby, or specifically, I'm new to the part of the hobby in having a sump. I've had tanks with hang on the back equipment for years, but decided to upgrade to a 150 gallon tank with a sump. I've set up and plumbed my tank, and finally got it all aquascaped...

If you have an Elos tank with the Quiet drain system please share your thoughts on its noise, safety, and overall performance. I currently use a Herbie overflow system with an ecotech vectra pump. Unfortunately, the vectra is occasionally inconsistent in its output, yet the Herbie system is able...

Hey, I started this hobby a couple months ago and I slowly buy parts for my build so I often end up upgrading the "older" part. I have a 40gl breeder bashsea ss-30 sump a PF-300 overflow and a COR-20 pump (bottle neck I know) I thought if I run the Cor on a lower setting to match the overflow I...

Hey guys, I've got a 60 gallon cube and sump that I'll be setting up here shortly. I'd love to see what everyone's done for their cube's. Please post a pic of your set-up. Thanks in advance!

I bought and set up an older 100g acrylic tank before I knew much about setting up overflows in reef tanks. The tank has a single vertical overflow in the rear corner with an outlet that goes through the bottom of the tank. I’ve set up a hybrid Durso system (see pic) to help reduce the noise...

So I just set up my sump, I have 1 h2overflow with stealth box as my intake i plumbed it with a gate valve to adjust it, I bought a dc pump rated for 1200 gph, but no matter how many adjustments I make to either the water level in my aquarium or sump raises and doesn’t level out, I cannot find...

Hi Guys, new to R2R, but a long time lurker. I have been using this overflow for about 2 years now with no trouble, so I figured it was time to show it off! It will overflow about 2-300gph to my sump, and will automatically start and stop when the water level rises above the baffle just before...

So I finally won the rights to a few feet of space in my office lol... wife let me get rid of a piece of furniture. 3 ft tank seemed like a perfect fit so I have been bouncing between ordering a planet cristaline, innovative marine 75 int, reefer 300xl. Still may go that route, but wanted...

What sounds fair to pay for this upgrade? 54 gallon corner Bowfront. Need to: Convert to Reef Ready 1. Add 3/16” black ACRYLIC panel for overflow 2. Drill GLASS twice 1-1/4” bulkheads 3. Run PVC/HOSING for DRAIN/RETURN 4. PAINT side glass panels 5. ADJUST cabinet floor/door to convert for...

Hi You ALL, I have been reading, watching youtube vids, reading more, watching more videos, day and night, home and at work. Pretty much the last 3 months i have been all about saltwater fish tanks. At first i was looking at buying a 50 gallon tank bc i read that its the best beginner tank...

Hi all. I was hoping to find some ideas/help in regards to setting up a proper overflow/return in my tank as well as maybe seeing some ideas for a diy ATO resevoir and set up! There will be a pic uploaded with this but as you'll see in it, my tank was used as a certain loop in a fewshwater...

this is a 75 gallon "reef ready tank" (hardly) in the overflow there are 2 holes. 1 for the return that is 3/4 inch and one for the filtration that is 1 inch. Before going further let me say that I wont be drilling this tank. It isn't mine and I don't want to replace it should it break. So...

Afternoon All, I thought a quick post regarding this product may help people with the same issues I faced. Having moved from a fully planted freshwater setup I was desperate to keep the original tank and stand (Evolution Aqua Aquascaper 900) 1. To save money 2. I like the overall appearance...

I got a really good deal on a deep blue 57g reef ready rimless tank, but the center overflow takes up way too much space in the display. I'd like to remove the overflow, patch the holes in the bottom, and drill new holes in the back to plumb a low profile overflow and return. Has anyone done...

I have a 29 gallon reef tank already set up with HOB equipment that I would like to add a sump to. I can’t bring myself to spend over $100 on an hob overflow box so I thought I could make one out of pvc. Has anyone else done this? If you could share some tips with me that’d be great. Thanks!

I recently purchased a Marine Modular 800gph overflow box (top-view of outer box pictured below). It has three 1/2" drain holes that fit 1/2" uniseals. I will these for a bean animal overflow on a 32g display and a 20g sump. I realize now, however, that the 1/2" drain holes are considered...

Hey! So I went a lil coral shop based out of a storage unit, and I found a great buy. A 25 gallon cube rimless, on a stand, with a sump. Only problem was the leftover dirt and grime. Anyways! I cleaned it up, and I’m wondering what oveflow box should I do? I’m wanting an internal overflow, and...

Came home from my first day back at work after a blissful week long vacation leading up to Christmas, only to find that my HOB skimmer has somehow malfunctioned today. During the process it created a siphon and poured about 5 gallons of saltwater onto my living room floor, which then proceeded...
