In the beginning stages of my build, I was undecided between having my tank drilled or purchasing some overflow boxes. There where positives and negatives to both. With drilling, there is a chance that the tank my crack. Also some fittings may leak after awhile. The only negative I seen with the overflow box was not having your tank close to the wall, the boxes need about 3 inches of space on the back. IMO thats not bad at all. With that in mind it was a no brainer for me, I definitely didn't want 125 gallons of water leaking into my living room. So I chose to go with the overflow box. Well after running around and calling my LFS (local fish stores). The boxes in stock cost way way way to much. So I started my online search and BAM Ebay had them. Made by a company called"Aqualine". I bought two because my 125 is 6ft, so I wanted one 7 inches from the corner. For $48 and free shipping why not!! I bought them on a Saturday and they arrived on Wednesday. Kudos to Ebay User: salt-solutions no wonder they have 100% feedback. these things where solid and easy to assemble and get started. BTW they where packed so safely, I couldn't believe how much foam and cushion they used. Very impressive!!! I could have went with a dual but like I said the tank is 6ft. Plus each single one is rated 600gph, thats 1200gph. Pretty good for a 125.
