overflow box

[Nimboli12]

I hope Im using the right word here. Many threads ago I mentioned my intake "pipe" or the pipe that my water flows into. I have a tacky looking green netting over the pipe to keep my fish from going down it.

Anyway, can anyone suggest a way I can remove this pipe and attach a normal overflow box. You know the kind I see in my local fish stores where the box has teeth like barriers to keep the fish from going down?

Can I possibly buy a small box like that for a 60gal tank? Will you guys need a pic of my pipe I have now? Its so hideous looking,.

You will need to buy an overflow box. Some popular brands are Eschopps, LifeReef and CPR.

is this "green" thing the barrier or fish guard? I took mine out and replaced it with a piece of eggcrate. I think it looks better then the green thing.

I'll just sent a pic of what the pipe or out take pipe looks like.

If your tank is drilled and you just want a overflow box maybe glass holes can help you. Here is the link...Aquarium overflow box 700gph and a picture

When you say "drilled" that means there is a hole drilled in the glass for some kind of aparatus to connect right?

I would like to have just a small box about 4" square with teeth on all three sides . But the pic you just sent is basicallly what Im looking for. I'll look on that link.
Thank You.

Yes, drilled means the glass of the tank has holes drilled in it.
