Where to custom make a Overflow Box?

[bkburger]

I have been using a DIY Overflow Pipe for the passed 2 years, recently my wife complaint about the noise that it create, the noise of water flushing down the pipe was too noisey for her, so was thinking of buying a Overflow Box, but my tank has eurobracing and the Box i find cannot fit in, mine was 9.5cm.

Is there any place where i can make one?

Any bro who use a Overflow pipe know how to solve the noise? Help plsssss.

Hey bro,

You have to 1st determine if the noise is coming from within the overflow pipe, or at its outlet into the sump. If it's the latter, then are you using a metal stand for your sump, or an enclosed cabinet? This is because a cabinet help to contain much of the noise within.

OK, let's talk about the overflow box. IMO, if your existing pipe fails, even a customized one doesn't guarantee noise will be within your wife's acceptable threshold. Wouldn't it be easier to sell your existing setup & get a one with built-in overflow. Then can you be sure it'll be silent running.

Hi bro, haha, i ma the guy who bought your fish and mushroom.

Ok the noise come from within the pipe, not at its outlet into the sump, 2 noise, one is the SUCKING of water into the pipe(not always got sound) and the other i think is the AIR inside the pipe that cause the noise.

My tank cannot change, so no choice have to think of other way like making a overflow box

Yes bro, & I hope they're doing well.

About your noisy pipe, can you show some pics? That may provide some clues as to how the problem can be solved.
