Just to let you know, I have two of the EShopps overflow boxes. I don't have anything but good things to say about them BUT they do NOT provide the amount of flow that a LifeReef overflow box does. I have two of the lifereefs too.

The two eshopps I have, have dual 1" bulkheads and I think I'm getting around 900 gph from it.

You can't argue with the price and they have never failed to maintain siphon and they are good pieces of equipment. I just wanted to let you know about the flow so you can account for it in your calculations.

They also don't use standard sized PVC connectors for bulkheads. I'm not sure what size they use.
