HOB overflows?

[jolson10450]

heck miztanks avoid the possible hassles of a hob over flow and drill the back and put a standard over flow box with bulkhead to drain water much safer IMO as you are not relying on a siphon to be maintained to work gravity dose the job

this one would work great for that 26g tank

i agree, just figured that is what she wanted, if you can, id drill it. ive had 2 overflow tanks now and the next one i get will for sure be drilled, i hate having my tank sit 5-6" off the wall just because the overflow box is behind it, such a PITA. functionality, the life reef overflows are the best. they guarantee you will keep siphon once it is started. another thing with HOB overflows is they tend to get a little loud, i had to put a DIY gurgle buster on mine.

LOL unfortunately unless you drill the bottom which she cant due to tempered glass you still have to space away from the wall for the plumbing

I am guessing here but chances are it is a factory built bow front tank and most of them use tempered on the bottom on the bow fronts and other similar size tanks

Drilling is not an option. No one around here to do it, I definitely won't try it, lol. My only option is a HOB and a prayer and guys like y'all here at CR!!
