Does anyone kbow the correct installment for the overflow for this overflow box? I have installed the bulkheads both ways and still leaks between the back glass and overflow box.
 
I had the same problem until I put the gaskets in the right spots. Solved the problem immediately. Let me know if you have any questions.

If it comes with only one rubber gasket I would put the gasket between the tank and the overflow as that should stop leaks from around the bulkhead threads. My Fiji overflow uses 2 gaskets. One in the tank and one between the tank and the overflow.
 
It comes with two gasket per bulkhead, I thought of putiing a gasket between the back glass and external overflow box, but I figured the gasket on the inside the box would keep water from leaking between the bulkheads
 
Most important is the gasket between the back of the tank and the external box. Second would be between the skim box and inside back of the tank.
 
Thanks everyone, didnt get any instructions with the overflow. I moved the gasket between the back glass and overflow and now its fixed. Thanks again!
 
Awesome! Great job to all who jumped in!
