SRC Member JiaEn Posted May 16, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 Do take note, bean animal style overflow can take up quite a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kekelan Posted May 16, 2021 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 This is the overflow compartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JiaEn Posted May 16, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 Ah ok. If you put your siphon and secondary pipe (these two need elbow) on two ends, emergency drain in the centre. Probably enough space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapper Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Wow. Looks like tremendous amount of work. I’m also setting up a 3 feet 30cm tank. But I’m using ready made overflow box and sump. Saves me all the headache. Quote My Tank Journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
