Why not just drill the tank and hard plumb? Would make a quieter overflow and no leaky hose.That’s actually part of the plumbing issue that is giving me pause at the moment...
I have a cpr aquatics hob cs50 overflow that I bought ages ago, however I’m having some issues with it. There is a hose that came with it, but I’m not sure it was made for it.
Every time I’ve ever connected it, it leaked. I’ve tried to clamp it, but still leaks. CPR’s website says that there is some sort of adapter for hose, but I guess I didn’t get that.
I thought maybe to try and get a threaded attachment directly to the bulkhead but I couldn’t find one that fit on my last trip to the big box store. It wouldn’t be a special size would it?
In all honesty, I would probably do that if I didn’t have the overflow already. Which seems like a silly answer now that I type it...Why not just drill the tank and hard plumb?
I saw your build taking off when you started! Looks pretty nice!!! Congrats!I just drilled my 75 a few days ago. I decided to get the Exotic Marine Systems 32" overflow, but there are a lot of other options you could go with as well. It was very east and I love it!. I tranferred my 40b into it and love the extra space. Go for it, drill the tank! You will be glad you did.

Eshopps makes a good overflow box too. Check out the marine depot elite ones. They’re the same thing as the eshopps eclipse and cheaperDid you get those baffles from Jax.racks on Ebay?
If that is a standard 3/4" or 1" bulkhead in the overflow you can still hard pipe it and just do away with the flex hose that came with it. PVC pipe should just slide up into the bottom of the bulkhead. Although the exotic marine overflow is sweet, love mine.That’s actually part of the plumbing issue that is giving me pause at the moment...

Yup, my first experience with baffles, excited to see how they work.Did you get those baffles from Jax.racks on Ebay?
@Scratch08, would you cement it in to the bulkhead then?PVC pipe should just slide up into the bottom of the bulkhead.
