You won’t regret it.

Thanks, this is all new to me, so I'll try continue to do research. I think trying to get the Herbie setup might be lil challenge. But excited. ha.

Did you folks add a strainer slip to the drain side?

 

[dantimdad]

There is no need for one

Fiji owner here also. I have mine installed on a 40 breeder. I love it. No water line either. Just have to mod the plastic trim a little for the bulkhead. Not a big deal

Mine came with the template and becuase I wanted the water line above my black trim I cut the trim off where I installed my overflow and it worked out perfectly.

What about where the back box fits where the trim goes? I just drilled the hole and I can see i have to cut the trim on the inside what about the outside? The gasket goes over the trim so it won't work. What did you figure out?

I just drilled my hole and I see I'm gonna have to cut some of the trim on the inside what about the outside? The gasket goes over it? What did you do? Thank you.

I cut the trim on the outside as well

I have a AIO peninsula and hob refugium from Fiji Cube and honestly love almost everything about them. They have also been really responsive which is great. Two small caveats are the pumps. The AIO pump is almost tolerable but not silent. The pump on the refugium is ***** loud. Both are being replaced. If Fiji Cube could partner with Sicce or something it would be magic.

Just trim the exterior plastic trim that I highlighted with a dremel so it all sits flush.

Just did right before I saw your post. Glad I made the right decision. Lol. I'm thinking maybe silicone it too, huh? Thanks man.

I'm putting mine on a 120 gallon btw. I feel like I'm really gonna love this overflow. I've used nothing but Eshopps Eclipse on all my other tanks and wish I had modified the trim cut the water line shows on all of them.

Perfect. No need to silicone the gasket will do the job. Trust me it will not leak. Looks good. Yeah I really like this overflow. Works great. Let’s see tank when your all setup.

Well heres pics of the tank I just took down to put this one up. Was a 75g upgraded to a 120g.

Looking good. I wish I could have that coralline algae in my tanks. I don’t know why I can’t get it to grow. I have a little bit in both tanks but hasn’t taken off yet. One of the tanks has been running over a year and the other about 5 months. I have what looks like it on glass but it’s green.

Great thread, I am consdering the Fiji overflow box for my 40B. Any thoughts on 600 vs 800? I am considering the 600.

I bought the 600 for my 40 breeder. I haven't set it up yet but it's more than enough for this tank.
