Tank reboot, need help deciding on an overflow

CaliCajun · Jul 29, 2022

Well after a move back in February I am finally ready to start over, my last tank was taken down and I'm ready to start again. I will be going with a standard aqueon 125 and plan to drill it this time instead of using one of their reef ready models. I'm not seeing to much in the way of overflows and was wondering who had first hand experience with some of these or potential other options. The only ones I'm currently seeing that look promising are the eshopps prodigy L and the fiji cube 1200GPH models. I do not need a ton of turn over and normally would only run approximately 600-800gph through my last set up. I put a video below just to show where I am coming from.

Thanks

I have had good experiences with the eshopps line. Eclipse and prodigy are both solid overflows.

Modular marine for a non built in external overflow gets my vote. He might even be able to still customize something if he doesnt have what you're looking for.

I went with an Eshopps overflow after deciding I couldn't wait for Modular Marine to open their orders back up. They weren't taking orders at the time due to being so busy. I 100% regret not waiting. I hate my Eshopps overflow, the thing is so dang noisy and I've tried everything possible. It just comes down to the weir design. Modular Marine's design address the two largest issues with the Eshopps overflow. I would recommend a Modular Marine overflow over everything else.
