This video goes over my herbie method overflow in my 75 gallon reef tank. I show the diy acrylic overflow box and the dimensions of it. This style overflow is great for any saltwater aquarium.
I just recently took the plunge into saltwater and purchased a 75 gallon. This video helped me a ton as I will be doing a Herbie method as well! Actually .... All your videos on/about your 75 gallon have been extremely helpful! Your tank looks amazing by the way!
Hey mate I’m stressing a bit, I just brought an old aqua one regency 280 that had a durso. I’ve just about to set it up for a herbie. As I’m in australia I’ll try get the right measurements. I have a 32mm (1 1/4”) as my emergency and will have a 20mm (5/8”) as my main siphon. It’ll be on my planted tank so sump turn over doesn’t have to be ripping like on a reef tank. I also purchased a Jabao dcp 4000 I can tone down to 1200 litres per hour. Do you think this will be able to handle the flow?
Hello . I am about to install this herby . I need some info on hole distances . First question . My tank already has a hole drilled 1.5 inches from top edge . is it too high ? do i need to drill the hole same height ? how far apparent ? is the water level determined by the emergency pipe or by the overflow box dents ?
one more question . I am planing on installing a 4 sided internal box to avoid the silicon an mount then with the bulkheads . do i need any particular type of bulk head or is just the regular ?
