You can buy them, but they're expensive. If you ask me, overflow boxes like melev uses are not the greatest inventions. I prefer Durso or Calfo overflows.

 

[fish_master]

hmmmmm ok then how do i go about constructing the overflows u sugested

 

[SkiFletch]

dursostandpipes.com

think you could do something like that?

 

[fish_master]

so the water goes up the pipe an down?? and if the level drops it wont?? right? but how do i put a hole in the tank with out it cracking

 

[SkiFletch]

A diamond bit holesaw specially designed for glass cutting. Also sometimes an LFS or custom aquarium fabricator will drill a hole in a tank for you for a nominal fee. Mr Miagi would know more about where to find hole saws or someone capable of drilling holes in your neck of the planet

ok im going to get some sheets of acrylic and make a weir just like this

 

[fish_master]

how many mm thick do u think the acrylic should be???

 

[SkiFletch]

Humm, I'd say in order for a novie acrylic worker to properly glue it, 6mm
