Hi All,

I found a deal on Craigslist I couldn't pass up. I've only been in the hobby for a year with an AIO tank. Ive been looking for something a little larger with a sump and this is what I found....

The tank came with a 2 3/4" overflow and 1 3/4" return holes pre drilled. Ideally, I would like to somehow convert this to an external overflow with dual return lines. Looking for any advice or ideas on the best way to get this setup...

Any help would be much appreciated.

You could remove the overflow box.
Look at something like Eshopps Eclipse Overflow Box Kits
You will have to check what size bulk heads they use and see if your current hole will fit one.
Then you will have to drill a second hole.

Thanks. I was looking at the Eshopps earlier but couldn't find the bulkhead size. I'll check with BRS.
