over flow???

I have a 75 gallon predrilled tank with a overflow box. I think the company that made it is called Mississippi Aquariums. I took mine down about a year ago and misplaced the pipes that came with it. A drain pipe and a return. I was wondering if there was a way I could buy another one. How would I go about doing so?? Would some of the fish stores sell me one? Could I order it directly from the company or would it be easier just make my own?

I go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get PVC (or is it PCV) fittings and hose/tubing and do it myself. It ain't rocket science.

By the way, is Tommy Tate still sheriff of Monroe County? I went to Sunday School with him.

you can go to homedepot or lowes and get the pvc pipe....i would get 1 2in pipe for the drain and 1 1 inch pipe for the return...i think that is the pipe sizing of the pipes...then get the flex hoses and hose to go to the return and a 2inch pvc utube to go on the drain and drill a hole to break siphon...i can probably tey to take a pic and show you if you havent done it already
