32 gallon biocube need overflow help

Grimreefer89 · Feb 10, 2020

i got a sweet deal on a eshopps sump and id love to be able to use it with my biocube without drilling it or destroying the lid. i plan to upgrade in the next year or so and id like to be able to use it as an AIO in another room. with that said has anyone found a HOB overflow box that would fit with minimal modification im thinking an Eshopps nano. im just not sure if that flow rate is gonna be high enough (about 200gph) and if it will fit. thanks guys i appreciate any advice im just determined not to drill the tank.

Flow rate with the eshopps nano will be fine but you will have to hang it on the side of your Biocube, not enough room in back without cutting out the chambers.. the lid will also have to be removed or severely modified to work.

The Chambers are easy to cut.

I just tagged you in a thread that has an overflow in a Biocube.

thank yall! and katrina thanks for tagging me in that im probably gonna have to do something similar to that so it will be a great reference i was hoping to be able to use the sump with no major mods. especially since my biocube is up and running

. and retro reefer thanks for confirming the flow rate is good enough on the nano. that nano is my only hope of not having to dremel half the lid off the biocube or take my tank down to drill it.
