An overflow box is something I have been seriously thinking about as well because I am fairly new to this style of reefkeeping and I have decided that a
sump/fuge would be a great addition to my setup. I saw the overflow boxes on marine depot by CPR and was kinda psyched!

When I posted this information on my local club board... EVERY - SINGLE - RESPONSE was NEGATIVE. Now I am getting a bit scared off.
Of course, since I only have a 29 gallon, the cost is quite comparable to buy a new one and drill as opposed to buying the overflow. I just know that if we come home and the house is flooded, my wife will see to it that my renewed fascination with Marine Aquariums is toast.
Rocket... why remove the canister? Even when I get my
sump done, I plan on keeping it there for chemical filtration purposes. I have mine filled with
live rock rubble and carbon, with a space reserved for a
phosphate remover.
I would LOVE some information from folks with first-hand information on these overflow boxes.
Also, does anyone have photos or designs for the
sump/fuge units they made using a glass aquarium rather than a custom acrylic box?
