OVerflow??

[exspecialle]

I currently have a canister filter and want to upgrade to a refugium, But my tank is not drilled. So does anyone know what overflow works best??

depends on how much flow you want going through to your sump. what size tank

I have a lifereef overflow - it works great. It's rated at 600 gph.

Cpr Overflows Are The Best I Have Used, They Are About 100 Dollars From Dr Foster And Smith They Use Aqua Lifter Pumps No U Tubes So You Never Lose Siphon I Have 2 Of Them Running A 320 Gallon Tank Never Had A Problem

LifeReef is the way to go if your not gonna drill. They are designed the right way, so you dont need an Aqualifter to keep the siphhon going. CRPs are ok, but they have way to many faults in them that lead them to overflowing.

ive never had anything but trouble out of overflows with u tubes but ive never tried lifereef

I have both drilled tanks and overflows with u tubes and never had a problem with my u tubes. the design on the lifereef is such that even if you lose power you wont lose the siphon. I've run them for years and never had any of the issues people write up. if you go the u tube route I dont think you'll be disappointed.
