Not sure but i have the medium eshopps eclipse overflow on my 40 and i like it. It comes with a drill bit and templet which is the reason i got that particular overflow

I installed one on a Marineland 75gal. I haven't used the e-shops so I can't compare but the quality is very good. Comes with everything you need for a few dollars less.

Did you get the small or medium? I’m looking at one of these for my 75

I got the small one which handles my 400 gph Ehiem pump just fine. I had to go with the small one because of the background design of my tank. If I could have, I would have gone with the medium.

I would go with the large so you can set up a bean animal overflow. I had a medium and it worked well on my 40B with a Herbie, but I prefer the bean animal. I currently have the Exotic Marine Systems 32" overflow on my 75 and LOVE it!
+1 I bought one for a 40breeder build I'm putting together and it looks like good quality. I like that it comes with lids for both chambers. And I'm actually thinking about using the 40 for the sump and going with a 4 foot 120 and I'm glad everything I got so far could be used either way.

I ordered the small as well. I tried to call and switch to medium. But I figure I can always upgrade later down the road if needed

Can you share a picture of where you placed it in your tank as well as what you did with the plumbing for the drains? . Mine is coming in tomorrow and I’m hoping to get the plumbing started.
