Where to buy small overflow for a fuge?

[zanemoseley]

Ok I'm not gonna have a sump but I was thinking about using a fuge on the 75 I'm planning, I was thinking about a 20-30gal rubbermaid fuge, from what I've heard they only need 4-5X turnover per hour so I'd only need a overflow rated at about 100GPH, anyone know where to get one? Also can I put a heater in the fuge?
if needed you can email me a link

i bought cpr's fuge kinda nice, but im biast since i live in arcata lol
and i dont like the look for a rubbermaid fuge looks ghetto to me thats just my opinion tho

I'm not aware of any overflows rated that low...most I've seen are around 700 GPH. Why not go ahead and develope a sump...then you could easily tee off of your return to feed the refugium at whatever flow rate you like.

IMO sumps are useless unless you're really worried about your skimmer being visable, I'm not even running mech. filtration, seems a heater could go in a fuge ok, if you're worried about increasing water volume you might as well just put that volume into a fuge, sumps get much more water flow going though

If all you want is a refugium, just use a smaller return pump. I never heard of an overflow rated for only 100gph, just get a smaller overflow(300gph), which would be over kill for what you are using it for, but it will only let water drain thru at whatever your return pump is pumping back into the tank. .

No actually it is my yellow lab. She has a thin head for a lab but sometimes she has the temperament of a dobberman.
