sorry the picture,if its the tube with the elbow you can take a dremel and cut just below the overflow box making everything easier to remove

You've lost me again... :12:

 

[Sir Alex]

take a dremel

Can I get a drill head that would do that?

cut just below the overflow box making everything easier to remove

You mean cut right below the overflow then reglue it to the pipe? But wouldn't that make the overflow lower?

 

[reeftanker84]

no dont even use the same parts,cut off just below the box so you can get to the other parts then put new parts on the box once the old is removed,you can find parts at lowes or home depot that will fit,i wouldnt glue anything,i used silicone to seal my joints,that way all i would have to do is give it a good twist to pop it loose but it wouldnt leak in the mean time

[Sir Alex]

If I had a dremel couldn't I just cut the corner piece out?

 

[irensing]

i would say if you can get a dremel inside the box to cut away some of the corner piece then give it a try. if it doesn't work out you can get a whole new pipe and fitting like reeftanker was saying.

 

[Sir Alex]

Can I get one of those dremel head things that will work on my drill?

 

[Sir Alex]

Soo, I got the elbow out. :bounce::bounce:

But, the box broke in half!!! :frustrat::frustrat:

Where can I get a new one??

 

[Sir Alex]

How's this? The problem is, it looks like exactly what I have and I was hoping for something bigger.

The one I have actually looks more like the super nano but is different because it has the slits on the front left and right instead of just the front.

 

[Sir Alex]

OMG the hole is in the back. :frustrat::frustrat::frustrat:

What's the point of tempered glass anyway? It didn't seem to protect the tank from scratching...

 

[Sir Alex]

Come on guys, I need your help with this.

 

[ErinCahir]

Why do you want one bigger?

And yes, your new signature is annoyingly large.

 

[Sir Alex]

Why do you want one bigger?

The one I had was really small (6" X 2.5" X 6"). I guess it would work but it's broken now so it's size is irrelevant. I was more hoping someone knew a place to get overflow boxes at all. I couldn't find much in my searches.

 

[Sir Alex]

Bump...?

 

[Sir Alex]

Bump...?

+1 me...

 

[ErinCahir]

How about having a little patience.

I have no idea how to solve your problem, but I'm sure someone who does will let you know soon.

Thanks for getting rid of the ridiculous signature.
