ISO broken Elos aquarium

Mebeknob · 09/05/2016, 07:39 AM

I want to use the Elos quiet drain on my build. If I can find someone that has a broken Elos aquarium where I could use the overflow that'd be great! This is probably a long shot but worth asking.

Or if I can't find an Elos overflow, I will most likely copy it or do something similar. So if you can point me in a good direction for a small footprint, interior overflow that'd be great!

Please don't do this! This overflow on my elos 160xl is the one thing I wish I could change. It would be one thing to have a large overflow you can turn down to slow flow at night or when you want but thats not what I have. What I have is 1 inch pipe drain 24x7 that may be quiet but debris never leaves unless siphoned...cyno and phophates climb without gfo and regular water changes. Flex hose from return to sump may help with splashing. And others have posted ways to modify overflow's flow to sump. I have a variable dc10000 and at lowest speed and the noise and flow reduces with the speed of the return pump.
