Im having trouble setting up my new tank. I bought my new overflow box from Modular Marine 800g low profile overflow box. I drilled my tank myself was not as scary as it seems. But now my issue is i dont know how to setup the bean animal cause of the space inside the overflow box amd how high each pipes need be. Cause the bulkhead extends deep into the overflow. I dont know how to post a picture.
 
The picture on their web site show a bean set up.

I could be wrong, but if you're still wondering, you'd set that up with four 90 degree slip/street elbows and three pieces of PVC. I'm not sure of the size, but it's probably 1" diameter PVC. Based on the picture:
The far left (emergency) would be just a piece of tubing;
The middle (main) would be a very small piece of tubing coming up into the 90 which fits into the other 90 to make a U shape; and
The right (secondary) would be the same, just with the piping about an inch or two longer so it sits higher up.

They don't have to be in that order from left to right. I'm fairly new to the hobby, so please verify this before making purchases but I see that no one else has really explained it so maybe this will get you headed in the right direction. Good luck!
