Question Suggestion For Overflow Box

Hey guys,

I am looking for an overflow box dosent take up much room in the tank.
I have looked at a few but they look like the skimmer part in the tank takes up so much space. Just looking for suggestions from people that has tried some diffrent ones. I guess I am looking for something that is semi quiet and handles 1200gph or so. I also dont have an issue makeing a standpipe or any other mods to make it quieter.

Thanks for all your help,
Cole

Are you going to drill the tank?

Might be hard to find one with that capacity that is small. I'd worry most about dependability. Have you checked out the LifeReef overflows?

Or, you could just get a bigger tank, drill it, and install a Glass*holes overflow...

How big is your tank? Do you really need 1200gph?
