I just got my new 75g tank today am gong to be drilling it soon just looking for some advice on what style of over flow to do . I want to have a main over flow with a back up/ safety over flow . Should I get a black over flow box or just have the pipes going in to tank . Was looking for options
Or should I do a double over flow with a safety?
I dig the internal/external style with a thin overflow in the tank and the plumbing outside. Kind of hard to describe, but they look like this https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/16-sh...ergy-reef.html. Really slick and easy to maintain.
There are better options than the Synergy but regardless of what overflow type you go with, "bean animal" is king.
Are the Eshopps Eclipse any good ? Was going to built it but this might be easier Like this Attachment 114472
Not familiar with Eshopps, but it looks good. My only concern would be the clear external box growing algae. Not a big deal if it's hidden behind the tank.
I was thinking of running the ecotech vectra s1 do u guys think it would give me enough flow ?
Probably a bit more than you need. What type of sump are you running? Something like a Poret sump only needs 4-5x turnover but wet/dry can run 10x no problem.
Attachment 114484 this is my setup right now all be building my 75 right away .in the new 75 all be doing a 33 g sump
I got my new overflow box put in do I need too have Gates valves on both main drains ?
Yes, the valves will help to control the water height in the overflow. The emergency does not get any sort of valve.Quote:
