This video shows the start of my overflow system. The tank will use a Bean Animal drain system with a coast to coast overflow.

  • where did you get your 1 inch bulk heads from?

  • @Whoppingplayer1 BRS :)

  • Getting ready to upgrade my tank to a 60" 100g. I did my 55g overflow in acryllic, but my 100g is glass. I've read where acryllic and glass don't bond well together. Have you heard what thickness of glass I would need for a 60" span. My tank glass is 3/8", but I don't think I would need that thick for the overflow. I've tried contacting Bean, but he has pm's turned off...I'm assuming for good reason

  • @br0ken68 please see reefcentral for answers to this.

  • Do you think this overflow system would be overkill for a 12g long (36x8x9). You seem very knowlegable(excuss the typos) what would you recomend I do for an overflow?

  • @SparksReef You might be best with a Durso and an overflow.

see all

  • what kind of spray paint did you use to paint your overflow?

  • like how much you will charge me to make me tank 2 feet by 2 feet and 2 ffet tall

  • because im still waiting for a response on the reef central thread but i was wanting to get the prospective of a fellow canuck who has this on their tank.

  • Curious as to how the whole system works, i've read through the main article but i dont understand how the full siphon (without the airline tubing) starts up and begins siphoning on its own. im filling up my tank now and its not doing anything, the emergency kicks in untill the open channel gets the water inside the box to the appropriate level but the full siphon is not doing anything. do i need to prime it? If so then how does it kick back in if say a power outtage happens?

    Im comming to you

  • this video answer alot of questions for me thanks new hobbiest in reef

  • @1mkwiet okay thanks ill check that out
