I did some more work today and got the wavebox covered up







Then i couldnt wait any longer and the minute i had finished my overflow I get it all wet to see how it would work and let me tell you, it went just swimmingly!! take a look

















and last but not least...VIDEO PROOF THAT IS REALLY HAPPENED

Thanks very much, I think i like building and designing the tank and seeing it all come together and work more haha

Awesome setup so far and that wave is crazy in that little tank.

The wave box is awesome (what kind of pump did you use for that) and do you find that it gets noisy with the water flowing into overflow as the wave hits it?

Yeah thats what I was wondering too. Do you hear a water trickle every time the water overflows into the overflow section?

(Don't have sound on my comp at work, so not sure if the video you posted had sound lol)

Not really actually, becuase the water level in the tank is above the top of the overflow when the wave comes it just sends a little extra out, there really isn't any noise at all, plus the height of the water in the overflow box is high enough to keep it from spashing or gurgling or anything, the only noise i can hear in that tank is the hum or the pumps


also i used a tunze nano wavebox that i pulled apart to make my wavebox, its just a 6206.200 turnbell pump

Wow, great build!

That is the smallest bean animal overflow I've ever seen!

hahaha yeah it took a little thinking to make sure it would all fit, i also had to try it out just to see if it was possible with only 1/2" pipe haha but it all works perfectly...now

Alright so I managed to save as much as i could and as a result the ball valves sit just slightly lower but its all good everything is back on track, and i got a thicker piece of glass this time and i think I'm becoming very proficient at drilling glass i knocked out those three holes in 10 minutes haha
