overflow

So I just set up a 25 gallon AIO tank. This is my first salt water and AIO system. The section where water flows into the filter system in the back seems to not be very powerful. Maybe I just don’t understand. I’ll include some photos to help explain. It almost seems like it’s not sucking water...

Hi, I just purchased a used 180 gallon bowfront aquarium that is going to need to work before I can get it up and running. It currently is drilled for a single overflow in the right corner but I am considering adding an additional overflow in the left corner for better water filtration down to...

So I have a 90 gallon saltwater tank. I’m using a external overflow. It’s getting old and there is two cracks forming on each side of it and I’m afraid one day it’s just going to give out. My 90 gallon tank has a hole drilled on it. It has a bulkhead installed it’s about 6 inches from the top on...

This will be approximately 1200 gph internal overflow box. The measurements will be 8w x 5.5 h x 2.5 d I bought the black acrylic sheets off amazon. It was a 2 pack 12 x 12 1/8 inch. After getting into cutting it I'm thinking I should have done 1/4 inch. This is a bit choppy. But it's working.

Hello everyone, I'm planning on making a small nano tank with a sump and wanted to see if I could save a few dollars and buy someone's eshopps overflow box. I'm looking for either one (see photos attached). Thank you,

I have an 8 foot long 310 gallon aquarium with an IceCap 48XL sump. I bought two eheim jager heaters for it (300w & 250w). I’m placing the 250w either in the skimmer or the refugium section of the sump and was thinking to put the 300w inside the overflow box to keep a clean look inside of the...

Hi, I have a drilled 40 gallon with a bulkhead like this one: I wanted to do put a pvc T in the back of the bulkhead but I couldn’t find one that fit so I’ll just use the fitting that came with it. Would it help the flow if I drilled a hole and added an airline tubing in the top like this? I...

I know the general consensus is that we run dual return pumps for redundancy. Then again, the general consensus is that fish should be quarantined yet, most don't. So I'm curious, how many of you are actually running dual return pumps? Either on a single overflow or dual overflow setup. **Meant...

Hi everyone, I’m planning a bean animal backpack overflow on my new build, and also want to include an automatic fleece roller (the only style available here is pictured). Any suggestions on how to plumb the two return lines from the bean animal into the fleece roller? I’m sure someone must...

I recently set up a 90 gallon sump tank with 30 gallon sump underneath and there seems to be a loud overflow sound. The overflow pipe is submerged in the sump, I could use suggestions on what I could do to make it quieter. If I need to make adjustments to the overflow head or the overflow piping...

So I have my Planet Aquariums Mega Matrix 310 with internal center overflow. It did not come with any of the overflow plumbing which has (2) 1-1/2” drains and (2) 3/4” returns. The tank is 25” tall. Are they supposed to come with the internal overflow plumbing or was that an add-on for an extra...

Hello I have a waterbox cube 20 right now everything is running great. In the future I wanted to double my water capacity with a sump (equipped w/ protein skimmer, refugium) and add a pair of dragonets. I know the options for overflow are drilling or hob. I wanted to ask here if anyone has tried...

Hey everyone I need some help setting up a HOB overflow. I have a few pictures showing what I have. Drilling is out of the picture btw. I can't get the current overflow working. If anyone knows how to get what I currently have to start a suction process that would be awesome. Otherwise, I am...

Hey everyone, I'm getting a 96" x 30" x 30" acrylic tank for a mixed reef aquarium, should be roughly 360 gallons with a 120 gallon sump. Would the Modular Marine 3000gph low profile overflow and EcoTech Vectra L2 (3100gph) return pump be sufficient for an overflow and return pump? (I'll have...

Hello guys, im finishing my new 200 gal setup , the person helping me with the tank installed the two 1 1/2 overflow bulkheads with straight connections to a 90 degree and straight down to the sump. After we started the system the noise become really loud, my home feels like to have a...

Hi all Ive had my bean animal set up for about 9 months. Lately it’s taking a lot longer to purge and level out after I feed. Ive cleaned the pipes in the overflow, didn’t find that much detritus and when my gate valve or ball valve is open independently the flow seems to be good. Does anyone...

Hello everyone! I'm sorta new to the hobby, or specifically, I'm new to the part of the hobby in having a sump. I've had tanks with hang on the back equipment for years, but decided to upgrade to a 150 gallon tank with a sump. I've set up and plumbed my tank, and finally got it all aquascaped...

If you have an Elos tank with the Quiet drain system please share your thoughts on its noise, safety, and overall performance. I currently use a Herbie overflow system with an ecotech vectra pump. Unfortunately, the vectra is occasionally inconsistent in its output, yet the Herbie system is able...

I bought and set up an older 100g acrylic tank before I knew much about setting up overflows in reef tanks. The tank has a single vertical overflow in the rear corner with an outlet that goes through the bottom of the tank. I’ve set up a hybrid Durso system (see pic) to help reduce the noise...
