Bean Animal/Scuffer Box/Calfo/External Overflow

[mrsaltwatertank]

Anyone in town have an external overflow on their tank?. These also go by the following names:

- Bean Animal
- Scuffer Box
- Calfo Overflow

NOTE: I'm NOT talking about HOB overflow boxes. Those are something completely different.

Here is the one on my 110. I actually cut the side out with the tank about 3/4 full of water and with all the livestock in it. :D

Alright here is my diy coast to coast overflow. Its 6"tall and 4" wide made out of plexiglass. I drilled 3 holes to install 3 1.5inch bulkhead. The center bulkhead is a return from a 2000gph pump. The left and right drain are bean animal drains. The left is the full syphon with a ball valve turned 90% open. The right is just a emergency drain that stays mostly dry. I have the right drain with a 3/8 hole in the top to allow air in as well as the drain is angled to a 45 to get over to the first chamber of the sump. The left drains vertically down to the sump. The left drain is a 90 degree fitting turned down so no air gets in and the right drain has a 90 degree fitting turned up.

I hope this is what you need, if not just let me know.
