+mcallahan Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm not as opinionated as caferacermike, but unless its an internal overflow box, don't use one. They are disasters waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbnj Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Try a Life Reef overflow box.....supposedly, they're guaranteed not to lose their siphon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Once I set up mine I never once had a problem from them. I ran 2 over flow boxes for over 4 years. The house was downtown and would lose power all the time, very short outages. Never once lost siphon and never had any issues from them.
