Synergy or Reef Savvy External Overflow boxes

[FLSharkvictim]

I am looking to ADD an External Overflow box on the back of my SC RIMLESS 150 that's been pre-drilled for a 20'' external overflow box. Does anyone run these two Manufactures on your display? Reef Savy 20'' ghost or a 20'' Synergy Overflow? Would like to get some of your thoughts and comments on the two Manufactures. They are both the same price and they both have a 2-3 week lead time.

I have the Reef Savvy ghost on my 80G. So far so good, easy install, template included. Only issue I had was with the lead time, the estimate was much longer than expected, but that's when the overflows were much newer. That being said, Felix at Reef Savvy is straight up and got back to me in a timely fashion and handled the situation. You'll likely be happy with either of these over flows, real question is if you want to spend the $. I bought an Eschopps over flow for a 20G build, much much cheaper, but the quality seems better on the Reef Savvy. Is the quality that much more to justify the cost... no idea, but my guess is probably not.

Do both of them have the same bulkhead spacing?

Not sure, you could probably get specs from their sites or by contacting them directly.

You might want to check out Modular Marine as well.

I dont have either but have known Rick at Synergy for a long time. He builds some really good products and stands behind them 110%. you cannot go wrong with them.

PLUS 1 ON MODULAR MARINE. These guys come with the template and a diamond drill bit for the glass.

With his tank already being drilled I would be concerned that all three could be substituted without modification.

I have synergy ghost overflow 16" and couldn't be happier with it. I heard that Reef Savvy designed the ghost overflow with synergy together back then...don't know if its true. But the quality of my synergy ghost overflow is also top notch. the cutting tolerance of the acrylic is like an art.
