The water level is going to be determined by the height of the overflow box. The height you actually drill the holes does not matter. The larger 1,600 GPH and 2,400 GPH models include three drains to accommodate a Bean Animal style overflow setup for the ultimate in safe, reliable, and super-quiet overflows. The main lesson I learned is make sure the overflow box is big enough that you can remove the elbows. Build quality is top-notch with solid construction and a nice tight fit on all components, and each overflow is designed with multiple drains for redundancy and safety. In my situation I would place the hang the overflow on my less visible side and drill the hole in the back. This also provides easy access to the tank bulkhead and just makes overall maintenance easier.įiji Cube also includes a guide template for drilling so that you can get the bulkhead hole positions and water level just the way you want it without any worry. There are no annoying bulkhead nuts to remove in tight spaces, so you don't have to worry about completely undoing your dry-side plumbing if you need to remove the weir. The wet side can be easily removed for cleaning or other servicing needs, and slides back in just as easily. ![]() The wet side overflow box is among the slimmest on the market, but what really sets it apart is the ease of servicing and maintenance that they built into their surface-skimming weirs with a removable, o-ring sealed interface that slides into the bulkhead. We were immediately impressed by the thoughtful design and unique features of Fiji Cube's overflow boxes. The Prodigy by Eshopps was created for advanced aquarists with efficiency and beauty in mind.Fiji Cube's unique design takes low-profile overflows to the next level! The Eclipse aquarium overflow system consists of a slim black box that is mounted inside of your tank and a clear external box that mounts outside of your tank, to transport water down to your sump with as little noise generated as possible. There’s no bigger eyesore in a beautifully aquascaped reef tank than a giant overflow box in the middle of your view. Overflows are a critical component of modern sump filtration, but they’re often not very discreet. Here it is getting ready for a leak test still needs a hole from the tank in will need to locate that and drill it. The DIY project only takes a few minutes to complete and compared to HOB style overflows, the Eclipse has a fail-safe design that includes three drain bulkheads for a Herbie or Bean Animal method of plumbing. Due to excessive noise on my 120 gallon tank I have resorted to building a bean animal style overflow box on the cheap with parts from my 90 gallon the exploded on me. These are the three most common water drain technologies you will see used on an aquarium. ![]() Durso, Herbie, and BeanAnimal refer to the drain plumbing itself inside the overflow box. The internal/external design for the Eshopps Eclipse Overflow Boxes creates a minimalistic design inside the aquarium, extending less than 1.25" inside the aquarium. An overflow box can be internal or external meaning the box is either inside the aquarium or outside the aquarium. Water can flow through the 1/4" teeth in the wet-side of the overflow, and then through the included bulkhead into the external box that holds additional bulkheads to let the water drain down into the sump. It is required to drill your aquarium with the Eclipse overflow but drilling is fairly simple and with the included glass drill bit and drill guide. The guide helps you set the perfect water level for your aquarium and then lets you know exactly where to drill your hole(s). Selecting the right overflow for your tank can be confusing but it is a pretty simple formula, just take the total flow produced by your return pump and select an overflow that can handle that overall flow rate, and still be able to fit inside of your aquarium. In most cases, we will recommend using an overflow that is +1 sized for your application. That lets you upgrade to a larger pump or tank in the future, with an added safety benefit of being able to handle additional flow if one drain gets clogged or restricted. Installation Tip - When installing the bulkhead gaskets we highly suggest placing one between the inner overflow box and the aquarium. The other gasket should be placed between the external box and the bulkhead nut. ![]()
