overflow boxes

[tru conch]

i am looking to build my own sump/refruigum, but i dont want to spend 50+ dollars on an overflow box.
is is possible to run the supply line to the sump directly from the tank? i dont see why not, esp if i use a sponge pre filter.... any suggestions are welcome.

you better either get an overflow box, or get the tank drilled. otherwise, your looking for BIG problems.

alright, i guess i will stop being a cheap a** and just buy an overflow box. thanx LOTR

 

[lordofthereef]

No problem.

I made my own overflow works great!!!

 

[lordofthereef]

that can be done too.

something like making your own overflow box could be hard to do. especially if you dont seal it good or there is a small hole in it. you may have a mess. i didnt trust my self to build it so i had to buy one, i really didnt want to though.

I bought mine from the LFS for just $17. It was for my 75G. That's not a lot of money. Just buy it.

No joke devante, you could make money off of this one! I'd be very happy to get a $17 overflow, and I'd pay some extra on top of that and still say it was a great deal!
