LF: Overflow box

[Chrisq0904]

Im getting things together for my new build/upgrade and I am in need of an overflow box. If anyone has one for sale please let me know. It needs to be big enough for an 80Gal tank.

Thanks

I have one $20 and its yours (complete)

I'll have to get back to you. It's a great price but just read about the herbie system. I'm going to try to see if I can get that to work since my tank is already drilled at the bottom.

if its drilled then DO NOT bother with an overflow box.....use the drilled for the overflow and bring the returns up over the back with lock line at the ends.....if you need help plumbing is a breeze let me know if you need assistance...

Ya the tank that was given to me was pre drilled in the bottom but they used a canister filter. For the herbie set up do I need to have an overflow box? The reason I ask is because there currently isn't one.

ok, dont think i ever saw that before. I personally would just build a box around it so its like the stock drilled tanks, But i would also get a second opinion.

I would pull out those existing bulkheads and replace them with some new ones. Other then that, the overflow box (just glass or plastic enclosure around the herbie piping) isn't a necessity however it will help with aesthetics
