Overflow Situation

[Unregistered User]

I accidentally must have given away part of my overflow system.

There are generic parts on marine depot but not sure which generic part to go with. Help would be great.

Below is what I do have....

Looks like you need the siphon tube the internal surface skimmer box and the stand pipe with foam filter. Is that a pf800?

Personally I would drill the tank. It' a lot safer than a hob. A just got the eshopps eclipse medium over flow. Was a little under a hundred bucks came with drill bit and template. Was pretty easy.

All your missing for it to work is the acrlyic u-tube. The stand pipe with foam filter helps quiet the overflow but it works fine without it.

I can't drill it.

Do you have the black overflow box that hooks to it?

It doesn't have a #. It's made for a 50 gallon tank apparently. My ex who gave it to me knew his ****. :/

Or maybe one of his 30cm tanks?

Based on the size it's a pf-800. I didn't even notice you are missing the overflow grates as well. It would prob just be best to purchase a new one.

If you were me though would you also just buy & buy bigger?

 

[Daltrey]

The pf300 has one slot on back and the pf800 has two.

I did on Saturday. I can't figure it out. My home is a small three bedroom, I'm not a hoarder... It can't hide. I'm so baffled.

Gentlemen you're fantastic so if I rebuy I buy bigger correct?

I'll get polarized sunglasses tomorrow. However 90% of ADA tanks can't be drilled.

The u tubes are the same size between 300-1200 I believe. And daltry is right about it being a pf-300. If your tank is any larger than 50 gallons I would definitely just purchase a pf-800 especially if you cant find the grates. The overflow works great and auto breaks/starts siphon without any issues. The u-tube can become full of algae and will need to be cleaned to keep flow consistent.
