My Eclipse M is fine. I was making a fix for it but got it quiet enough I never put it on.
$200 for an overflow for a 75 is too much for me.

On a framed 75 how would you clean the inside of that front box.Digging into it it looks like the prodigy has something of a eurobrace frame to support the lid.
I dont cry. I make it work.Having owned acrylic Eshopps gear, a sump and a returned overflow box, I can say that the build quality of Modular Marone is superior in comparison. In this case, the old adage definitely holds true... you get what you pay for. So buy once and cry once!
I have a 2" eurobrace on my tank with the eclipse now. I clean it with a bottle brush through the back holes.On a framed 75 how would you clean the inside of that front box.
Yes, I can clean my Eclipse box. I meant the narrow one on the Prodigy.I have a 2" eurobrace on my tank with the eclipse now. I clean it with a bottle brush through the back holes.
It's not about any analysis really, it's about 1st hand experience where if the water level in the external overflow is too low, the cascading water in the weir side is much too noisy. I have my secondary line (and as a result my water level in the external and internal box) jacked up higher than I like to quiet it down. If the external box was maybe 1cm higher, no one would complain, and there would be just enough cascading for oxygenation.I'm just trying to understand the analysis.

I cut an u shaped piece of plastic canvas and dropped it into the front box upside down. It gave the water something to run down and quieted it a lot. The bulkhead is in the center of the U so it doesn't get blocked when algae grows on it. I do clean it very infrequently. I have room to get it in and out.
I think a lot started that way in order to allow installation on a rimmed tank. The higher quality kits available now have changed their designs to go over the rim on tanks. MM has put a notch on the top of the external box to fit over the rim, while EMS now includes acrylic spacers.I appreciate the replies.
Hmmm... the question still remains in my mind: given some of the complaints that some people have, why do some product makers keep with the below weir external box design?
Wow there's some brilliant insight right there. 'Close the drain and it overflows!'.
Oh. M. Gee...
With a closed drain the tank is going to overflow regardless. What magical Jedi like overflow is going to stop a tank overflowing with closed drains?
