Bro you can get 2nd hand overflow box from pasar malam or from our sponsor I Aquatic. It works like internal overflow box only that its hang on the back of your tank

There is always the possibility of the overflow box breaking siphon.

Better to drill your tank before start. I used the external overflow box previously but after new tank with internal overflow. Like Ozy said, external overflow you have to monitor the sifon of the overflow, if sifon break. the overflow will stop ###### water from your tank to sump.

thanks bro for your input..but wat really happens when e siphon breaks?? can someone explain?? and how it breaks...hrm...

will definately get build-in overflow for my nxt tank..but thats when i get my own income first..hahaha..

the syphon breaks when air enters the body of water that fills the syphon pipe.

i've used the ibox from our sponsor iaquatics with no problems. its done in such a way that when pumps are turned off and water stops flowing into the overflow, the syphon will remain intact.

A well designed overflow box will not break siphon unless u purposely break it.

Cheers
