Does anyone have WaterBox Overflow cover with cut out for sale or knw where I can purchase one
 
I have a Waterbox peninsula 5526 and use the Radion RMS light rail. The light arm sits directly on top of the overflow so I brought a Red Sea Reefer cover and made some modify to the bottom end of the cover using the Dremel tool to cut away some plastic pieces and re-glued back the areas where it gives you the grip to lift the cover. The Red Sea cover fits perfectly with the Waterbox.

That’s good to know that the RS cover fits WB. What is the white tube around the return pipe?

I had issue with the return flow. One gripe I had with the Waterbox overflow cutout teeth is that they are too narrow and it restricts the return water and raises the display tank water level to only 5/8 in before it flood the tank. Since the water is too high the overflow is so noisy so I had to raise the overflow higher and build the waterfall "catcher" to break the waterfall to reduce the noise as seen in the pictures.
