jedidad Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I,ve had my 29g biocube for about 2 years now and i want to add a sump to it. I was wondering if anyone knew of any hang on back overflow boxes that will fit in the back section of the tank. I thought about building a pvc overflow but I have read that the noise level is really high. Link to comment
jfarabaugh Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 done Livereef nano overflow in the second chamber and the return into the third https://picasaweb.google.com/jfarabaugh/HOBOverflowAndSump# Link to comment
jedidad Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 thanks for the suggestion. have you used this overflow? does it start back up automatically after return pump loses power then comes back on? how noisy is it? thanks again. i couldn't find one anywhere that would fit.

hbfishguy Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Eshopps 800 fits perfectly FYI. In the middle chamber Link to comment
jedidad Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 thanks, the flow rates a little high on the 800 for my purposes but that means the 300 will probably fit also which would be perfect. are you using the 800 in your biocube? Link to comment
jfarabaugh Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 no problems starting back up in the 6 months that I had it and the pumps get shut down once a day for feeding. Lifereef overflows are bullet proof. no noise if you build a silencer Someone is selling one for 75 $ on RC which is stupid cheaper and comes with a silencer. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1960882 a Eshopps 800 is waaaay overkill IMHO you wont be able to see that post because of your status. Here is the member selling it http://reefcentral.com/forums/member.php?u=17807 Link to comment

jedidad Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 i'll get there. didn't catch that i was talking to the same person on rc so just ignore my post there. thanks for the help Link to comment
keydiver Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm running an eshopps pf-300 and i've had no problems in the past 4 months I've been running it. It's the perfect flow rate too, 10x over. Link to comment
