Nano Custom Corner Overflows (with Tunze Pump/Hydor Rotating Nozzle)

Hello fellow reefers 😊

 

I have (2) custom made corner overflow boxes (both a left and a right side) that were originally made for an ADA 60P 17g aquarium (approx. 24"L x 12"W x 14"H).  I made these for my son's specifications at the time, but he has since acquired two young and rambunctious cats in his house, so he'll now need a reef system with a fully enclosed canopy.   So basically, tested in freshwater to perform properly, but never used in saltwater.

 

The ADA 60P aquarium you'll see in the photos has since been sold to a person doing freshwater shrimp, so these reef specific corner overflows are available for those who want/need to have all equipment located inside the aquarium...without the equipment showing.

 

Features:

 

1.  3/16" high-gloss black acrylic with rounded corners (shaped to minimize space intrusion into the aquarium)

2.  Tunze Silence 210 gph pump with Hydor rotating nozzle (designed for easy removal/install to facilitate cleaning)

2.  Hand-cut overflow slots (located on 'inside' corner for minimum line-of sight impact)

4.  Bottom plate with silicone feet to reduce/eliminate pump vibrational noise

5.  Top plate to reduce noise

6.  1/16" black gloss acrylic siding (to hide equipment/prevent light penetration)

7.  Room enough for typical aquarium heater, thermometer and chemical filtration bag if desired (these items NOT included)

 

As they say, pictures speak louder than words :)

 

Original configuration idea with both corner overflows installed, black background & black siding: (was pretty sharp!)

The overflows were made for an aquarium 14" in height, but can be adapted to an aquarium down to 12" in height by cutting material from the bottom (ex:  for a 12" height aquarium, cut 2" inches off the overflow bottom and 2" off the clear plastic tubing used to connect the pump to the rotating nozzle, then use aquarium safe silicone to fix in place).   I'd recommend one overflow for LPS/Softies/Mushies and two overflows for high-flow SPS.

 

Price:  Only $35/each (includes ground shipping anywhere within the Continental USA).  PM me if interested.
