Hang On Overflow Box
What are some good hang on overflow boxes for a 40 gallon display draining into a 10 gallon sump?

I just bought an Eshopps 300 today. It's rated for 300 gph and up to a 75 gal setup. I haven't set up yet, but when I do, I'll pass on my observations. By the way, I am setting it up on a 40B with a 29 gal sump.

I had a generic overflow and I can see why the lifereef is superior. Besides build quality the length of the overflow boxes and utube prevents bubbles from forming. That was a serious issue for me for several months until I bought the lifereef. |

You can't go wrong with Eshopps or Lifereef, both quality overflow boxes.

I've been running an Eshopes for over 5 years. Great box. Mine is the dual tubes, but you might be fine with the single tube one.
