Are you wondering about cleaning the water with the eurobrace?

No cleaning interior wier of overflow box. Being able to access it with the eurobrace design. Wondering if the synergy or modular marine just pull off for cleaning

OXO Good Grips® Deep Clean Brush Set. Also I have a Dental Pick for the Coraline Algae that grows between the teeth. You need a cover over your Weir Teeth, to keep fish, and other critters from jumping it. Drill holes or cut slots in the cover for if the Weirs get clogged. Prevents flowing over the tank sides. For under the Euro Brace, I use a Philips Advent Baby Bottle Brush. Also use it at the Silicone Corners. Personally I’d use a Homemade Durso. None of the fittings glued.​

I have the same tank, my modular marine comes off easily and can be cleaned.

I’m looking at a SCA tank also. What are your thoughts on it so far?

So far I really like it. Getting ready to do plumbing today. water in this week. It appears to be decently made. After I do a test water run I can post.

The only other thing I will say is that I ended up with internal overflow box instead of external as I ordered. My order pisted shipped and 2 weeks later nothing so upon inquiry was told they didnt have external and I had to switch to internal. I would call in person to make sure they have in stock. I realky couldnt afford to wait as my previous tank leaked and rock and fish all in holding areas for new tank.

Good to know. I'll keep following your thread for updates!

I really like mine. The Mod Marine overflow is super easy to deal with, the tank is very nicely made, very clear glass. No issues. I would def buy another one form them.

Nice! Do you have any photos of the overflow box? Is it quiet?

All I have a shot of the back when I set it up.

I've also got an SCA tank with a modular marine overflow. Been super happy with it. One huge recommendation I'd make is to NOT put the cover on the internal weir box, otherwise there is a risk that gunk can accumulate and clog it, causing the tank to overflow. I'd show a picture of the back of the tank, but I didn't have one. Would look almost identical to the picture one post up anyway.

How did your test go? I'm still on the fence about ordering a tank from SCA.

So far so good. Plumbing done water in. Fish go in tomorrow. Decided to redo my rockwork but doing only half at a time to maintain bacteria.
