![]() ![]() Removable Black Polycarbonate lid (reduces noise, eliminates salt creep and light from entering the rear box)įront Overflow Box with 2 x 1.5″ ABS Bulkheads and 1 Removable Weir (extras can be purchased separately) Removable Magnetic Weir (Only overflow design available with this feature, Allows you to clean the teeth on the weir with very easy removal)ģ x 1.5″ ABS Bulkheads for easy removal and replacement Our testing and development are where others lack. Don’t be fooled by imitation overflow systems, we are the pioneers that brought this overflow system to the industry first. It is a very simple to install, plug and play overflow system. Our design has revolutionized the aquarium overflow and aquariums since it was first released. This overflow features a magnetically removable weir. The 20″ can handle Flow Rates up to (2500 GPH). Tanks from 3/4″ up to 1.5″ in thickness max. 100% Aquarium silicone to seal up the leak.The 20″ Synergy Reef Overflow™ is our only hand built overflow that will work with tanks over 3/4″ in thickness. I turned the thing upside down, and filled the siphon area to see if it will hold water. Don’t let the ruler slide around as you cut. The water will be siphoned over to the left side, where it will overflow the second weir into the outflow box. The water will overflow the weir on the right side, inside the aquarium. This is what it looks like hanging on the side of the tank. It’s just taped together here, waiting to be cut apart and glued together. This is what the completed unit would look like. It can really only be assembled from the inside out and be able to be sealed. You can start to see the difficulties assembly will incur, due to the various bits and pieces getting in the way of sealing the seams. Here you can see the start of the inside of the siphon element. Silicone my tolerances! I taped the two sides together, and cut them with a coping saw.Īfter many long, excruciating seconds calculating the flow rate for the whole contraption, I just held the damn thing up to the tank and eyeballed how high I wanted the water to be in the tank and made the weir element that tall. This is a high-precision operation I run hear. So, from the 1 measurement, I made it square, as an overflow box MUST be BOX shaped, or it’s an overflow rectangle, and, well, we just can’t have that. The idea is that I will make a ‘stream’ fish tank like nobody else has! ![]() I did actually take a measurement! I measured the inside of my 4″x4″x4′ nano tank. So, after much scientific analysis, here are my measurements. So, with a quick look over their instructions, I completely disregarded them as to measurements, and made up my own. I did a quick search, and found the same site! I read about this probably well over a year ago. The neat thing about doing it this way, is that the siphon won’t ‘break’ when the water level gets too low, as the weir (or dam) will hold the siphon. So, basically, I am making a dam, that siphons water out of a fish tank. An overflow box is a type of aquarium filter. A weir is basically a long dam where the water overflows for the full length of the dam. Well, everyone knows what an aquarium is, and that I like my fish tanks! Most people are familiar with a siphon – a hose that allows you to drain water out of a container over the side of the container. First off, what is the world is an aquarium weir siphon overflow box? ![]()
