Overflow boxes

[Holyreefer]

Does anyone know where i can get an overflow box pre-made already?
This is what i'm looking for

the preference of short or tall doesnt matter

 

[BLKTANG]

you can make one real easy.

Yep.

Use black 3/8" acrylic and use a router with 1/4" bit to make the "teeth"

 

[Holyreefer]

where can i get the acrylic from?
and how will i get the boxes to form?

BUMP

You can get clear acrylic at Home depot. You can find the cement at hobby stores. Although you can probably just silicone it together...

Are you planning on drilling the bottom? Make sure and read up on it. You can't drill the bottom if it is tempered.

i think you can use a heat gun and just get the acrylic to get hot and start bending it the shape you want it never made 1 before out of acrylic i made mine of pvc pipe i just cut it in half and made the teeth with a saw

pepino,
I tried doing the 6 1/2 inch pvc myself but i didn't like the outcome of it.

Glad Bob was able to help you out. I meet him at MACNA last year and he's a great guy and does solid work. I'm sure you'll be happy with what he puts together for you.

 

[Holyreefer]

Yeah he was very cool guy. I don't have as much knowledge about them as he did and he didn't mind answering my questions after calling him twice within 1 day. Thanks again for your reference
