Frag Factory Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hey all, I'm considering an upgrade, fragging everything every couple of weeks is getting out of hand. I'm thinking of changing my 12" cube to multiple 12" cubes on 1 sump (display + planted display refugium + possible frag tank). However a 12" cube doesn't give you any room for weirs and overflow boxes... I'm just wondering what options there are which are low in noise and low in profile? I've seen the Eshopps overflow but importing 3 of these into the UK would be stupid money (like £500, almost the cost of a RSR170). What other options out there for DIY? Thanks Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Something like this? I bet with some creativity, someone can 3D print one for you. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/09/13/xaqua-inout-pulsing-drain-return-fishies/ Quote Link to comment
Snorlax Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 DIY an acrylic tank with the weir directly on the back wall like the nuvo EXT tanks. Quote Link to comment

Dave J Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I was considering something like this - Lifegard has a lot of small overflow/drain options https://www.saltwaterfish.com/product-lifegard-aquatics-slip-bulkhead-fitting-kit-12?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvK6AhoKX5QIVQsDICh0Vbga3EAQYAiABEgJFlfD_BwE Quote Link to comment
