Overflow Modification???

[Riv D]

I have an AGA 210gal with built in overflow.
I'm planning on getting an Arow and want to drop the water level without making permanent modifications to the tank in case I sell to up grade.
Any suggestions/designs???

you could make a syphon (or several) out of some vinyl tubing/pvc and just dump it into the overflow

what type of overflows do you have? some ways are easier then others.

If you have the slotted box kind, you can rig up a guard to prevent the aro from getting into it.

If it's a "reef ready" type of overflow, you could always drill a hole in it big enough for a bulkhead and shorten your standpipe inside the overflow box. When you want the wter level higher or yousell the tank just plug the bulkhead or patch the overflow box.

OK,looked it up and know what you're talki9ng about,but that would take a bit of experimenting and I'm a little nervous about screwing it up(Although I think it's a cool idea). I'll check out my bulkhead options. THANX!

-Any Other Ideas Are greatly appreciated!
