You already know sometimes when the system is new it takes a lot of tweaking before they finally settle down. The only thing I really need to access is the one ball valve for the main drain. I can always access both overflow boxes from the front or side if needed. I use 1.5" plumbing (never have clogs) and I don't clean my overflow boxes much anymore. Honestly, the last 3 tanks I've set up I haven't needed back there much at all. I used to always panic about how I would be able to get behind the aquarium. They did a fantastic job designing these. *Bent front corners on both boxes (no seams)*Ī few pictures of both (picture courtesy/credit to both companies websites) *1/4"poly-carbonate lids will never bow or warp* *1/4"and 3/8" cell cast acrylic (high quality)* *Professionally fabricated from CNC machined parts* *Countersunk lids made from poly-carbonate for both boxes* *Rear box has new notched design to fit over trim so both boxes are mounted at the same height* *Works with rimless, eurobrace, and standard trim aquariums* *This design keeps water line hidden behind trim* *Slimmest and shortest skimmer box on the market* *Entire skimmer box pulls off for easy cleaning* All the other designs on the market have an exterior box that is mounted well below the skimmer box so if you shut the drain valves the exterior box will overflow. This is because our exterior plumbing box mounts at the same height as the skimmer box. One main advantage of our design that no one else has is if you close your drain valves our exterior box will not overflow. This means ZERO Clearance is needed to remove the weir when installed under a braced tank! This is a non-magnetic locking weir design that snaps into place. We have designed a simple slide fit that allow for a smooth action when removing the weir in tight spots under the trim on your tank. Removable locking weir for easy maintenance and cleaning. No other overflow on the market can compare their lids to these! It also features an exclusive channel system to keep water inside the rear box. We have designed the rear cover to lock in place when attached. It is a feature that was specifically designed to have a function and structure. Our poly-carbonate rear box cover is not just a rectangle piece of material. They allow us to fit our 1.5″ Fittings into such a small space. These compact fittings are not available off the shelf anywhere else. We have designed these fittings to maximize space inside of the outside rear overflow box. Injection molded VTeeth™ are smooth without any rough surfaces, this provides a continuous smooth flow. This also allows us to have a very small water level differential. This maximizes the surface skimming capabilities of the overflow as the flow rate increases. Our new Velocity Teeth allow for an even surface skimming flow into the overflow. This Poly-carbonate material is bulletproof. Injection molding and precision 3D CAD designed components allows us more details and features than flat stock built overflows. We are the only company that injection molds this style overflow system. Being injection molded also means no glued seams that can leak, it is truly a “One Piece” design. This means that every overflow will be exactly the same. It’s Seamless with a translucent Black Hi-Tech Polymer. Our proprietary new polymer blend overflow is 100% injection molded. Materials and features of both overflow boxes : First let’s look at the front skim box dimensions.
