overflow????

[CKreef]

Any idea how big the glass overflow on a 60 gallon square tank would be from glass cages? The overflow will be centered on the back wall of the tank. Thanks Chris

Judging from my past experience with glasscages, I think they use the formula:

overflow size = depth of tank / 2


Srsly.

lol hope not this is a 24" tank

The overflows on my 270 are about 7" x 10" and from top to bottom. I don't know that they'd be able to be a whole lot smaller because the plumbing (although smaller) still needs to be in there.

Check out glass-holes.com. Wayne used one of their overflows and likes it quite a bit. They're simple and don't take up very much room, either. Plus they have all other plumbing you need! Great guys to deal with, too.

DIY Acrylic Meeting

DIY Acrylic Meeting

Can we have an acyrlic meeting? I am willing to offer my place as the meeting sight. I have a decent size shop with all the tools necessary to build overflows, sumps, whatever. Anybody interested?

 

[CKreef]

Im interested anyone have any experience building a sump?

Also can glasscages tanks be drilled on the back?

 

[CKreef]

Ok so I checked my email and glass cages overflow in a 24"x24" tank would be 10"x7". That is HUGE!!!!! I am really thinking about the glassholes overflow now. The question is do I want to drill a tank myself? Also the 700 gallon kit should do right?? Thanks Chris

 

[NeveSSL]

Yes, they can be drilled. I drilled mine, anyway.

I'm tellin' ya man... the glass-holes guys and overflows are GREAT.

Yeah, the 700 should be great assuming you're putting no more than 700gph through.

I would be using an ocean runner 3500 you can get it with the kit

Suh-weet.

Oh, and I agree, Dawg, about the acrylic meeting. That would be awesome!

You should start a new thread with your idea so more people can see it and see if anyone would be interested in doing a demonstration.
