Hello I'm in the process of doing all the research for saltwater. I had a tank when I was a kid but so much has changed. Right now I just want to know what size of a overflow box I need for a 55? Well how many gph?
As good as HOB overflow boxes may be, have you considered drilling your tank? Gravity to date has not failed us . The HOB overflow boxes all require some sort of pump to start the siphon. If you haven't already, may I suggest taking a look at glass-holes.com? Drilling glass is much easier than it sounds and you'll never have to worry about an overflow problem. Just my $.02.

Most tanks have a tempered glass bottom but not the sides. You can drill any glass that is not tempered. You can run any overflow with a hole drilled in the side glass. It's pretty easy. I drilled my 210 and it has 1/2" glass. Also drilled a 40B which was much faster and less scary since it was only 40 bucks lolWhat about the tanks that say do not drill
