How should I attach my marine depot overflow box.

Hi this is a 29 gallon tank I am talking about and I was wondering, Step by step how I should attach the marine depot in tank small overflow box. How should I drill, and in which order should I put the gaskets.

Please provide a link or photo of the overflow box. Cannot find anything online with that description.

@Crabs McJones any way you could move this guy to the DIY section? Might get a bit more traction and discussion over there as well!

That overflow box is essentially the same thing as the eshopps overflows. The best configuration is inside box, gasket, glass, gasket, outside box, nut. This is how I had my box configured and it never leaked even a drop :)

Yes I had a thread yesterday comparing the two, but didn’t get any action. I am going to go with this one, because it is a budget build and it is cheaper than the Eshopps.

How has the Marine Depot Elite overflow worked for you? I’m also stuck between Eshopps and Marine Depot’s. I don’t want to skimp but I’d love to spend the extra $50 on a heater or extra RO membrane or something.
