How to start an overflow box

 

[meschaefer]

Assuming it is a hang on overflow, fill the inside and outside resivoirs with water. Thread a peice of airline tubing into the U-Tube so that it reaches the top of the U. Place the U-tube into position and suck out the air through the airline tubing.

You can order tanks drilled from the factory or drill any of the 4 sides depending on thickness and who you have drilling them lol.

That is pretty much self explanatory.:snail:

full overflow with tank water make sure the u tube end is in the water a take a air tube push the tube far up the u tube a suck the air out. as long you have water in the tube and the back of the overflow box it sure start up after a water change. sure:banghead: good luck

If you dont want to suck it in, just attach the air tube to a ventri plug on a powerhead.
