DIY overflow help

[Nate_Krohn]

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!

Save yourself the time and effort and buy one Trust me, I built two different ones and neither worked as good as advertised. They are untrustworthy as they are prone to stop working and easily clogged.
