acrylic overflows?????????

[seedless reefer]

The tank I'm getting this weekend has some teeth missing off the overflows.

The overflows are in the corner of the tank and they are square not rounded.

I need 2 - 2 sided overflows with teeth to skin the current overflow.

What I need is like what glasscages sells to cover their glass overflows but theirs are three sided and expensive.

They need to be in black as I do not want to paint them.

Lastly, and most importantly I need these to be inexpensive.

Perhaps we could barter something?

This is more for aesthetic purposes than functionality.

I can't provide dimension since the tank is 50 miles from my house

I assume they will be something like 2-1/2 or 3 x 5 or 6.

I have looked for overflows and all I can find is glass cages and some guy that wanted a c-note a piece!

Oh and these lol

Where can you get what?

An overflow? Well if I knew that I would be in good shape.

If you want one like the link from above, I'm not much of an artist but I could glue you one together out of sticks, pine cones and sweet gum balls!

 

[seedless reefer]

Yeah.

Marc Levenson said he would build some for me but I'm sure he's gonna be pricey.

I don't like these at all. I can just see a gdm eel shinny right up the side and into the overflow.

I would be surprised if there weren't a grate/screen or something to keep fish from swimming back there. They look very fake though, the only ones that might look alright are the wooden looking ones for a freshwater setup...

Agree.

It might be possible to DYI with LR rubble and epoxy somehow.

 

[weaglereefer]

Yup, 6" PVC, some aquamend, and some superglue. Sand up the PVC to make it rough, lay down some glue, lay down some aquamend, more glue, then the rocks...

I personally don't mind the look of equipment. Yeah, my powerheads and overflow box stick out, but I think it's cool, it reminds me that I have to care for these animals as best I can because they're not in their natural environment. They're not cluttered or junky looking, just there.

That's what I'm thinkin

 

[seedless reefer]

Yeah I'll call MRC but I don't want to cut the old ones out just hide them.

Me + silicone = Disaster.
