    If you find that the cost is a bit too high to try DIY (and get it right)...you could buy this from eBay

    I made an overflow for the same sized tank out of PVC for about $15. Doesnt look bad and works well. Never loses it siphon. I have tried to make it fail while testing. I will try to find the link tonight. It takes up less room in your tank than an overflow box. If you are interested I will post more later tonight.

    Not as complicated as it looks. I also made a half of one of these with larger pipe for another tank.
