I'll admit it man I'm super confused looking at that picture.

Does this overflow not having an external box?

Can I get a picture down in the internal box?

I think you're missing the external part of that overflow.

Yup, the drains are meant to be used in a water filled box. The open ends have to be at different heights for the water to drain into them as a primary and an emergency drain. You will need to add a bigger overflow box inside the tank or add one to the outside.

Did you read the original bean animal article?

You can find it at https://beananimal.com/projects/silent-and-fail-safe-aquarium-overflow-system/

The renderings are similar to what you have. Your overflow box seems to have less space to work with for the elbows but I am sure you can figure it out.

I had some trouble with the security certificate on the website being old but you can just tell the browser to ignore it. The site doesn't ask for any personal information anyways

Remember it is important to use threaded caps on the pipes you cap on the chance you have to unclog them. Don't use glued caps
