Hello everyone, So I installed a overflow box on my rimless tank. Everything seems fine but there's a very small leak where both pieces connect in-between the glass. How would I fix this? Thank you

Just have to cover the basics. Do you have both gaskets installed in the correct locations?
 
It doesn't look like the gasket is behind the the clear overflow box that connects to the back of the tank...
 
What configuration do you have the gaskets? I had the same overflow, the best way is inside box, gasket, glass, gasket, outside box. Don't follow the instructions that come with it.

This is exactly how the manufacturer says to install it.

Okay, I only have one gasket. That's probably my issue.

Bingo,

Did the kit come with two? If you only have one, best bet would be between the glass and outside box

I bought off someone that said they never got around to using it and it only came with one. I'll probably order another one but I'll try putting it on the outside and see if that works
