Good luck, if you have any problems getting ur bean running right, PM me. That's 6" of coral space that I could have had if the box was on the outside. Not to mention coral growth and space in the back of my tank under that overflow box. So instead for the 6 or 8 bulb T5's I wanted to set up, I'm stuck with a 4 bulb T'5 which limits my color options and amount of light. Example.I have 5-6" of dead space from the overflow box in the back of my tank that light can't penetrate through that well. Why? Because the internal will limit the amount of lighting you can run over ur tank. If I were to ever do it again, external would be my preference. I currently have a bean overflow and it works very well. They should work though.I don't see why not. I guess it looks better than a typical round hole. Most people that do external overflows tend to do longer vertical holes to let the water flow through. However, ur tank is already drilled with probably 1" round holes on the back glass. Instead of going on the back of your tank, they will go on the bottom of ur overflow box. ![]() Ur bulkheads will be backwards for an external overflow. Most people do three holes on the bean overflow.Ģ main drains and one emergency drain, but it's really not needed. Is this doable? Should I install the bulk heads on the two pre-drilled holes or leave them the way they are? If this isn't a good idea what would be the best way to do a c2c and bean (how best to allow the water to flow from the c2c through the tank wall to the external box? More holes, one giant hole?). Since my tank is already drilled and I don't want a giant overflow box in the tank I would like to make a coast to coast overflow in the tank that will flow through the two pre-drilled holes into the external overflow box with the bean animal system. Second I would like to do a bean animal overflow. My first question is how do I know how much flow can go through a bulk head? I'm assuming there is a calculation out there that will tell me this but I have not found it. My tank is a 36x18x24 65g and it has two 2" holes drilled on opposite ends about 3" from the rim and each end of the tank.
