overflow question

Does anyone know where I can find premaid overflow boxes? Im not talking about the siphon ones the the regular overflow for drilled aquariums, I tryed making one sever times but it keeps leaking.

Is your tank drilled through the bottom or drilled on through the back? If it is through the back you could make some like I made for a total of $12 for two.

 

i got my eshopps pf-300 from dr foster and smith. it is reliable and easy to use. it goes really good with the mag 5 pump which i also got from fosterandsmith. they have good prices.

 

I havent drilled it yet but thinking about the bottom, going to put the overflow directly under the center cross brace. All I can find is clear acryllic so I figure if its directly under 250 watts corraline will take over and in no time you wont be able to tell its clear. By the way the problem I was having was it would leak where I put the corners together, I just figured out you can heat it up and bend the corners instead of cutting out 3 equial sized pieces so much easier lol.

 

glass-holes.com is where you want to go, but you probably cant drill the bottom if it is a standard tank, it is probably tempered glass. Unless you had it made, or made it yourself, and know it is not tempered.

 

Is your tank glass or acrylic? Not that it matters with the type of overflow that I made but it does depend on where you can drill. If you would like to see some pics of a super easy diy overflow that works great let me know.
