EBAY IS YOUR BEST BET

I just put a overflow box on my new 120 gallon tank and not sure I am liking it. I have had mine up and running for over a month now and here is my take on it.

Benefits:
Keeps the top of the water skimmed good, Keeps floating debri out of the water with enough flow.

Non-Benefits:
Poop and other heavy things just sink to the bottom so in my BB tank there is poop laying all over the bottom, Also the corners of the overflow box I got are square and almost everytime my fish got spooked one ran into the edge of the box and got injured.

Dave,

Not big enough but will get you started. I think he has larger overflow box as well.

There is no better kit out there, inexpensive and low profile, very easy to install unless you are afraid of drilling your tank, much better than an overflow box.

If that's the case, forget the wet/dry (overkill if you ask me). Put 2 AC110 in there along with 4 sponge filter. Add the piece of of poret foam you got from me and you are good to go.

Know your tank before attempting to drill it! Many modern tanks are tempered glass, and will self destruct if you attempt to drill them!

[roundfishross]

hey Dave drilling is no sweat. at first i had reservations but after a few, now I will drill one full of water and fish.lol

as for being tempered I have yet to see a tank that had tempered sides its typically just the bottom thats tempered. HTH

[roclement]

correct but there is no harm in cheking! Also any "upscale" glass like starfire can be tricky but most standard tanks the you would buy at PETCO, etc, will only have tempered bottom glass, and even with starfire. the rear glass is almost always regular glass.
