DIY Overflow Boxes

[rdbrown]

so what happens if becomes if suddenly there's no electricity if he did it up side down...anyway good job on that DIY overflow box.

If you had the slits on the bottom of the overflow boxes, you wouldn't have a problem. The water is still only going to drain from the top of the overflow tube.

what kind of paint and technique did you use for your tank?

I used acrylic latex paint. I brushed it on with a foam brush, after masking it with painters tape.

Very cool job. How is the flow on the tank? I noticed that you said you stepped the pipe size down to 1" at the bottom. What kind of gph are you putting into that tank.

I am not sure of the return rate. I know the two standpipes keep up with the 1700 gph return pump. I am using a blueline 70.

I totally forgot about this thread. I'm going to have to give my sister a call. She has access to a laser cutter and I need another overflow on this 100 of mine.

Once again. Great job!
