Diy Bean Animal Overflow

[kekelan]

Hi guys, will be getting a new tank soon that consists of a bean animal overflow box, but without the pipings, can I get some suggestions on how I should do the pipings ? Height etc, height of tank is 30cm. Thanks!

Are you also looking for pipe design from the tank to and from the sump??

Thanks! I’ll probably be doing soft plumbing !

Do take note,  bean animal style overflow can take up quite a lot of space.

This is the overflow compartment

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.

Oh this kind ?

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.
