Setting up a temp 6x2x2 acrylic tank. Not drilled yet. I'd like to drill it and install an overflow on the back panel. I'd like the quietest system possible. Open to a coast to coast if I can buy one prebuilt or use multiple boxes etc whatever yall think.

Please include links where I can buy boxes if you have em.

Thanks!

I have the synergy ghost overflow on my tank and it's silent. I think those that experience noise with theirs don't have it tuned set up correctly. How thick is the acrylic?

I'll double check the thickness when I get home.

I'm wanting to run about 2400gph so I would need the one with 1.5" drains correct?

I would prefer the box to be at least 36" for surface skimming. Anyone have a link for a reputable 36" or larger box?

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Is that the only one available? Don't see any competition for one that size. Might have to look into custom boxes...

I went with the 2400 modular marine on my 6x2x2 180g. Dont have it in my hands yet though and will be a bit before it running.
