    Hi Everyone,

    I just bought a new 75 gallon fish tank with a 20 gallon refugium. I have my old 55 gal overflow box that i bought online but it's leaking water again. I'm thinking about investing in a new one, does anyone have any suggestions? I really want a reliable and not too expensive overflow box. If anyone can tell me the websites that have good prices for OFB that would be great too! Thanks guys :)

    -Andy

    I have an Eshopps pf300. It was about 59 bucks from DFS. I like it even though I need to build a cover to block light to keep algae growth down in the Utube. But it's never lost a siphon.

    you could just silicone your old one thats leaking at seam or is it the fitting the hose is coming out the bottom, then you can replace that part.. but a new one is always nice! get whatever brand you want pretty much all the same..

    I have an Eshopps 800 for my 90 gallon, and it is great! I definitely recommend it.
