Which overflow is best?

[Jacob holley]

Looking for opinions on a 40 breeder overflow. My top options are Eshopps Eclipse, Fiji cube, or marine depot elite. I’m mainly looking to run one return on a gate valve and one as a very slight trickle/emergency return. This will be going on a 40 breeder with a rim. Quiet operation is a major plus.

Have a look at the CPR overflows as well. You can get them with a Tom's Aqualifter pump so that you don't break a siphon. I run one on my 36g Bowfront and it works great.

I like my Modular Marine overflow. Dead quiet and no leaks. It feels much more solid than the comparable Eshopps.

Their website says they are basically closed till they catch up on orders.

I have the eshopps M on my 40B. With a gate valve its nearly completely silent.

I have the eshopps M on my 40B. With a gate valve its nearly completely silent. Its kinda heavy so I wouldnt put it in the middle of the tank tho.

Thanks for the pics! Good plumbing on the return, I’m gonna steal the idea.

Make sure to steal that 45 degree elbow crammed into the bulkhead. It completely eliminated the whirlpool I was getting above the siphon drain and quieted things down significantly.

So this is all new to me. What idea are you stealing? Not sure what I am looking at here.

Do any of these options allow for the water line to be above the bottom of the trim?
