Trying to figure out how to do the overflow for my 20 gallon rimmed tank. I just can't seem to figure out a way that is both affordable and attractive. If the tank were rimless I would just drill a hole as high as possible and use a bulkhead strainer. . . would cost like 3 dollars, but doing this on a rimmed tank would cause the water level to drop below the rim of the tank, and I don't want to do that.
There are some premade overflow boxes on BRS, however, they are all like $100 plus. . .
I could drill just under the rim and add a 90 degree elbow angled up to set the water level, but not sure I like this idea. . . what are your thoughts?
Could buy a cheapo overflow from eBay, but not sure the quality?
