drilled overflow
I just spoke to bowvalley/interamerican about getting my 25gal cube drilled and having an overflow box installed.
I bought this tank from Sean and he bought it from bowvalley. They will drill the hole and install a tinted overflow box for $75. What do you think of this price? Considering that I paid only $100 bucks for the tank a heater and ac500 its high. But when compared to the option of having to buy a hang on overflow siphon box at over a $100 and then the additional cost of water damage from this stupid thing loosing siphon, I believe the drilled option sounds alot better. What do you think??????? Now I need to speak to Bear27 about the design of a sump. |
jeez I was hoping to get my 105 drilled and overflowed for about that price, lol

check with Gold
2 years ago, Dennis did one for me for $50. it is not the material but rather the labour/time is that much expensive. G/L Tak PS. how about DIY? |
Why not do a notched overflow like chad (fish) had done on his 20s? Very simple design, pretty easy to DIY.

I dont know this overflow system you are speaking of. Can you give me some more info? Any links? Thanks
|
I could probably save some money and build the overflow my self. But then again, if they already have the tank to drill I might as well have them build the overflow.
Does any one know if Bowvalley has bulk heads? What do you recomend for a bulkhead size for a 25gal? |
Yes bowvalley has bulkheads and as for the size I belive you always want to go bigger than you think you need just in case

There are a few people on here who can drill a whole for you, delphinus drilled one for me for 10 bucks. And glass for the overflow would be like 20 bucks at a glass store.

Seeing as bowvalley built this tank, I'd rather go there. If anyone else drills it and cracks the glass, I am out of luck. If bowvalley drills it and cracks the glass, they will have to fix it.
