MacnReef Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Ok, I used the search button to find out where I could get a small overflow box, but was unsuccessful. So I need a small overflow box for a 20H and I don't want it to take up much room in the tank. Any suggestions. Also, I will be using a mag5 or mag7 for return so it needs to handle a descent amount of water. Link to comment
glazer Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Well I've mentioned this to several people before but have no idea if anyone ever followed up on it.... I spent alot of time looking for smaller sized overflows (ended up drilling the tank, woot!) but what I thought was the best deal was having the "Acrylicman" just make me one. You can contact him through RC using that screen name or catch him on Ebay, user name there is "displaycollectibles". He will make the interior box out of black, blue or clear for you and whatever size you want it. Price was around 50 bucks... more than reasonable I thought. Link to comment
printerdown01 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 There are several "plastic supply" stores scattered around the country. If you look there is probably one in your area. Just get ahold of some black plexi and use an aquarium silicone to put it together (the shop should cut the plastic for you). Other options: check you local arts and crafts store. It sounds weird, but you would be surprised what they actually have! Just drill 3-4 holes in the back and pick up a package of suction cups . Sometimes when you have a tiny tank you are forced to be a bit more creative. Link to comment
