Need info on calfo overflows

STEELERFAN747 · 09/03/2006, 02:19 PM

Hi. I am currently in the developement stages of a 120g which I initialy planed on getting it with factory overflows or corner over flows (dont really like the way these look from the sides) until I heard of calfo.
I really like the front view of these systems but I am not a big fan of pipes running down the back. (the pictures iv'e seen seem to stick out quite a bit)

I would really appreciate some pictures of different calfo systems and would love to know if the piping could be a little less stuck out.
Also has anyone done one of these systems with a blue background?

Thanks.

Here is a link to a couple of threads w/ allot of info. and pictures on the subject:

Calfo. style overflow boxes

Anyone ever made an overflow that runs the entire length of the tank?

The threads may not answer all your questions, but will help you get in touch w/ people that probably can.

Hey Kaos, thanks for the links, but only the bottom one works.
