Buidling a DIY wet/dry and need bioballs and an overflow box. Anyone have either one that they would like to unload? Let me know how much you want for either one or if you have both. Thanks...Wil

what capacity overflow box are you looking for?
I have two for my 125g rated at 800 each (eshopps I believe) and I am using only one. It's a single drain one.

Here's the info:

It's the PF-800

Let me know if that's the size you are looking for. Looks like retail is $65. It's got coraline in it and needs a cleaning so $30 sounds fine with me.

Karin,

That size sounds perfect! Sorry for the silly question but what is coraline? I will be using the wet/dry for a fresh water tank and I'm sure this is something to do with salt water. Is if difficult to clean? When would be a good time to get this from you? Tomorrow? Thanks in advance...Wil

Coralline is a very pretty encrusting marine algae. I would soak it in white vinegar before using it. Maybe get a bottle brush for the U-tube part.
I can bring it into town in the next couple of days. Since I am so far south Brooks City Base off 410 and IH 37 usually works well as a meeting place (rather than LaVernia! lol)
We can work out the details via PM :)
