Overflow box anyone ???

[aquakj]

Hey Guys so I have a 75 gal rimmed tank and I made my own overflow out of PVC pipes and tubing, my problem is it doesn’t push out enough flow sometimes and it clogs up from time to time, main problem it doesn’t siphon enough water, do you guys recommend another alternative such an overflow box or anything else I could do here are some pics of my setup

I did what you did, though the design I used worked well, but eventually, I tired of seeing the big white pipes. Switched to a brand name overflow box 5 years ago. Never failed me.

Something like this should do the trick: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/pf-800-hob-overflow-eshopps.html

I have been running one that is nearly identical to this for 12+ years, no problems.

I run a life reef overflow box. Took a few days to break in, but no issues now. Eshopps is the same design I believe

It's hurting my brain trying to figure out how this is Supposed to work.

I'm assuming it has a siphon line going over the back but that's about all l can tell.

I also ran a Life Reef on a 55 gallon 15 years ago. It never lost siphon.

Eshopps with a single siphon tube.
