BEST HOB OVERFLOW BOX

[Reeferburns]

Hi, I'm looking to set up a sump but I'm stuck on what overflow box I should get. I don't want one that is super loud and sounds like its gargling water. Look to save as much money as I can but if I need to spend to have it be quite I'm okay with that. I cant drill my tank as its tempered glass. My tank size is 37 gallons. let me know what you guys think. thank you!

I use the skimz om2500 on 2 different tanks and it doesn't gargle or anything like that. Haven't tried other brands/models so I can't comment on the rest.

• Add gatevalve to tune
• Comes with 2 1’’ bulk heads - can use 1 for emergency drain
• Just monitor U tubes for bubbles

best of luck

Its very quiet considering the amount of water it moves with a single downpipe.
I'd say the aqua lifter pump is essential if you're using this model.
Buy the aqua lifter from Chewy.com its much cheaper than other places.
