Next Generation Overflow Design - Exotic Marine Systems
This is a quick overview of our latest overflow design.
These new overflows incorporate a removable front weir w/ lid, as well as polycarbonate inset lids on the rear box. As before all of our overflows feature a raised rear box to aide in setting them to run quietly, as well as add an increase margin of safety against a flood.
At the time of this recording, we have released the 20" with 1" drains. In the coming weeks and months, we plan to release a 32" with both 1" and 1.5" drains. Followed by a 16" with 1" drains and a 40" with 1.5" drains. If you have any questions about this or any of our other products, do not hesitate to shoot us an email!

Exotic Marine Systems - Baffle Strength
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.5 лет назад
I get asked, or more accurately, told that you can't silicone acrylic baffles in a glass tank because they won't hold. I built this kit using basic GE Silicone I from Lowes. This one was built several years ago when developing the first kits. I am wanting to remove them to test new designs. This is me trying as hard as I can to remove the baffle. This is pulling in the opposite direction of the...

How do you adjust the water level of the aquarium?
Your system resembles a face with mustache
I read BeanAnimal's web page and forum thread, but this video explains the practical application much better. Thank you for a great video!
What size would be suitable for 500 gallon tank? 8ft long, 4 ft tall, 2ft wide
Great video my only complaint is the space left between the lines my ocd doesn't ever allow this simple method 😂 I have to run the lines as close to each other and matching as much as possible for a more clean open look but this works just fine if it visually doesn't bother you
Can you elaborate on the gate valve location being as close to the end of the line (presumably the sump) as possible. I have heard the exact opposite of this and noticed in the video there is at least two shots where the gate valve is immediately off of the drain box (so very close to the beginning of the system). Thank you for taking the time to explain in more detail, I greatly appreciate it. I’ll be installing my new drain pipe next weekend so I want to plan for the “best practices”. 😊
5y old video and keep teaching ppl, great information directly to what you need and explain everything easy and clear!
Superbly professional, detailed, accurate and straight to the point with no extra filler. Thank you!
Uhhhhh.... Mazzzeeeee....ing!
Perfect!
One of the best video for plumbing setup
This old video is insane, details are exactly what i was looking for thank you
Thank you SO much!!! ✨🙏
Awesome and informative thanks
@exoticmarinesystems7808 Can these fit tanks that are pre drilled to fit the synergy shadow 16"? Specifally an sc aquariums 150 gal?
hello thanks for the great explanation video, just a simple question, what is the size of the tank holes? does it matter if 1 inch or 1.5 inches?
Really great and very informational video, Thank You!
Excellent video and info! Questions: Can I plumb a bean animal overflow with flex pvc? Also, I'm planning a main floor display with a basement sump, and am wondering where the best place for the gate valve on the siphon line would be - still furthest to the bottom?
Great ideo - thank you!
How do you run this set up if you have 4 holes drilled?
Excellent failsafe system!
Is there a drawing that you have of this plumbing system?
Thank You for this Video!!!
Nice video! How shall I size the plumbing for a 5500 lph (approx. 1500 gph) flow rate tank with bean animal? Are the 1" siphon line and two 1.25" for the emergency and open drain lines sufficient? Larger or smaller diameters than this?
I'm currently doing a rebuild on mine. bought another whole kit and 40 breeder because one of my panels collapsed rendering my filter socks useless. I used the GE silicone 1. I don't know what I did wrong.
Can you make a custom sump kit?
Typically we do not, but what are you looking for?
@@exoticmarinesystems7808 anyway to contact you?
Why have a overflow box at all . You can strange away connect the outflow pipe to the hole on the tank ?
Yes, you can. If you don't mind your neighbors being able to hear it.
@@exoticmarinesystems7808 isn’t that kind of over reaction . how can my neighbour hear water flow in my tank ?
How high is the sock filter holder?
For which unit? The 20L fits 4x7" and the others fit 4x14" socks
@@exoticmarinesystems7808 what is the water height going into the filter socks?
Thank you for the video. I'm going to soon begin plumbing for my new 180g w/Trigger Systems sump and I'm terrified of screwing up my overflow and hard plumbing. This really helped.
Love this video. One of the best I have seen however, I'm confused! At 4:44 why doesn't the right hand overflow syphon to the bottom of the elbow? Surely the pump isn't replenishing faster than it drains. Thanks
Because the gate valve is still partially closed, limiting the amount of water that can flow through it. There is still some amount of water flowing down the open channel (center), so it is setting the height of the water in the box.
@@exoticmarinesystems7808 Ahhh. Great. Thanks for the reply.
So I'm all set up with the beanie. Do you have a video on tweeking it to syphon? I got it syphoning but when I drop the pump and turned it back on, it didn't syphon again. Thanks
@@nicwilliams00 I would need a little more information on your setup. But the usual culprits are using plumbing that is too large for the flow rate you have. Also, how far down into the sump water does your siphon line extend. You want it to only go down into the water about 1". Do you have the valve set up at the end of the line, or at the top right below the overflow. You want the valve as close to the sump as possible.
@@exoticmarinesystems7808 Hi thanks for reply. Pump is 1000l/h on a 95l display and 25l sump. All 3 lines are 1". Syphon line is 2.5" under water. I'll cut some off this to 1" today. Gate valve is 6" above water line. I need to order some more fitting for the elbows and tees in the OF box as I cut them down to see if that made a difference.
Great video! Question: 1. Do both of the siphon lines need to be under water in the sump to make this overflow work? 2. Is one gate valve on the main siphon line good enough or do I need another one for the secondary line
They aren't both siphon lines. Only the right one is. The other is an open channel that shouldn't have a valve on it. The siphon line should have a gate valve on it, as close to the bottom of the drain is as reasonable. They technically do not have to be below the water line to function, but they will be extremely loud and splash water everywhere. The siphon line needs to terminate just below the water line, so that it can easily purge all the air out of the line when it starts. The open line (left hand pipe) can end at any depth under the water.
I work for Spears and I would like to say they make any fittings you can think of. And all valves and such come with instructions on how to set and mount. And they sell thread sealant as well. I see custom manifolds and ect. Everyday they can make anything you need with pvc. Custom
Agree... Best video on this topic. It took me a month of research and collecting info from different vids & forums to acquire all the best practices you have in this one video... esp. The siphon drain pipe 1-2" below the water line.. enough to quiet but not enough to prevent air purge. Also the gate valve at the end.. the more unrestricted pressure you can build up..the more you can get out of each size drain siphon. Same idea, even ifvgoing with 1" drain... you can plumb everything 1.5 until in the box and down the back and THEN reduce to 1" on drain once entering the sump/stand area.. this pressure will make it easier to start &vpurge your 1" main drain & maximize gph.
you won't gain gph by doing that as the tubing still ends with the same width it'll just add more weight to the suction it's also what many people use in racks so they don't install drain boxes... drill all tanks with 2, 2" holes one for overflow and another as backup the 2" goes into 4-5" piping creating pull weight and this way they only need a sponge inside the tank...it requires less maintenance because of the gravity weight pull each tank have a ball valve for the drain so that if a tank in the rack somewhere breaks...leaks whatever the reason... close the valve and just unscrew the drain off the tank and replace it this way the entire rack keeps running the issue with that is that you need a much larger sump because the main drain pipe runs underwater so the sump will have to accommodate for that or just use the entire bottom rack as the excess water hold backup...something like making the entire bottom rack a 'sump'
This is a much better video than most I have seen today for plumbing a new tank
This video had a lot of information as to what we should do, and why. This was the best information I've come across. Start to finish, covering every aspect of the install. Thank you!!
Great video thanks for sharing.
Where can you buy this system???
www.exoticmarinesystems.com/collections/overflows-systems
Fantastic informative video thank you for sharing 👍
What's the name of the peice of pvc that let's the flow into the over flow?
Are you talking about the bulkhead fittings?
THIS! THIS VIDEO IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST I'VE WATCHED ON THIS TOPIC. You did a fantastic job explaining. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the kind words. I have several more in mind that should be coming out in the following months. New equipment coming in, new products..
I purchased unit (20") about 10 months ago, and the 29 gal high sump system. Extremely quite and very dependable, recommend to everyone. Might have a little bit of a wait on the shipping side, but well worth the wait 😉. Thank you EMS
Thanks for the compliment. I just placed an order for a 4'x8' CNC router that will speed up my production a fairly large amount. Now I just have to wait 15 weeks for it to be built and shipped.
one of the best videos in teaching a sump setup!! thanks a lot for sharing. If you could just speak a little bit slower it will be even more perfect
Lots of good info!
Great video! One thing on the strapping, depending on the pad under the aquarium you might get a bit of compression as the tank fills up. This will apply pressure to the overflow box since your pipes are bolted to the stand which isn't moving as the tank compresses towards the stand. Might think about strapping after the tank is full.
Omg 🥲☺️😍 this is the BEST video existing! Thank you so much!
@1:22 what do you mean by the top of the internal box? Below or at the top of the trim?
What size weir is required to use the bean overflow Ex :3 holes are required are required for the bean animal set up?
They come as a kit. It has both the rear box that has the 3 holes, and also has the front box. I don't really understand what you are asking.
picked up a 125g for free. The previous owner used this method but he has holes drilled into the top back of the tank. Just getting back into the hobby myself
Great video. I would want to see your explanation on Herbie overflow and which one in your opinion is better ? Which one is quitter? Or perhaps Cons of Pros on both of them. Herbie vs Bean Animal overflow,
I am running an ESHOPPS Overflow setup it’s rated for 1000gph, I’m not happy with it,any chance the holes in my tank would line up with your system also?? The weir inside is only 12 Ins.long ,very narrow in the tank .this system has 2 1 1/2 holes thru the tank with 3 1in. Drains
