In Arcata, located in Northern California, the sea is a way of life. From the advanced Marine Biology department at Humboldt State University, just up the hill from CPR’s headquarters, to Humboldt Bay, about a mile west, CPR is nestled in a perfect environment to develop equipment for marine aquariums. CPR was started in a small garage in 1987 to produce biological filters for local aquarists. People who used CPR filters were impressed by the high quality and affordable prices. Word spread and the company grew. Since then, CPR has expanded to a 10,000 sq. ft. production facility and has developed many innovative products over the years. CPR is incorporating new ideas and technologies all the time. Their goal is to allow aquarists to place the highest performing products in their tanks at reasonable prices.

Necessary Evil
Pros: Noise dampening features, low required parts design, siphon break recovery feature via external pump, easy to setup
Cons: Noisy, Dependency on external pump reliability for restarts.
I've never tried an overflow box before. This is a difficult review to write because I have come to understand the inherent challenges this solution presents as a product class as a whole. If you can't drill your tank or don't want to buy a reef ready one, then I think you are left with little choice if you want to use a sump instead of a canister. Here are some of the issues and how CPR has worked to reduce/resolve them: Noisy... Water running down a tube outside your tank is going to make a decent amount of noise. Not for use in a quiet space, I can hear water running even over the TV at decent volume. This unit has an adjustable air inlet/outlet above the bulkhead that allows you to eliminate "gurgling" - it works well. The siphon control with an added water pump helps avoid siphon breakage, and sometimes restarts after simulated power outages. Out of five tests, mine restarted the siphon 3 out of 5 times without intervention. Not the best odds if you ask me. To CPR's credit they are very upfront about this solution and state that if you can drill or purchase a drilled tank - they strongly recommend it. If you do purchase, inspect VERY CAREFULLY for cracks or damage and don't use it if it has any. Install it carefully, while sturdy - its acrylic and can crack. Any cracks or damage may allow additional air into the unit which can negate the water pumps ability to restart or hold a siphon. I do like that the CPR product uses minimal parts and install was a snap. Bulkhead connects are sturdy and haven't leaked a drop by just hand tightening it. If an overflow box is the only option, then i do believe this line is the one you should purchase.

Not quiet
If you're looking for quiet operation, keep looking. The overflow box itself is quiet but the gurgling coming from the bulkhead to the fuge in the bottom is loud. I bought the CPR recommended connection tube and there is still no relief from the gurgling sounds. No amount of adjusting the tube going into the bulkhead relieves the noise.

Perfect.
I was scared of putting the drill to my brand new expensive 150 gallon tank. It was too big to lug to a shop to get drilled. This was the answer. Get an aqua lifter pump with this thing and you will never look back. The pre filters work great, you can drop some chemipure in the overflow... It's just a great product. Highly recommended if you are scared of drilling into your super thick shiney you new glass aquarium.

CPR CS overflow box
I've had this for almost a month now and it's been working fine. I'm happy with its performance. If you don't want to drill a hole on your DT, this would do the job just fine. I do recommend this product.

COR Overflow
Product is well made and does as advertised. I may have missed the opportunity to order the deluxe kit (with lid, pump, etc). Didn't see that option so I made my own.

overflow
I hade this product for 3 weeks is great low noice level easy to use.... No more having to getting water in your mouth all you need is an aqua lifter and your ready to go... The only thing i dont like is having one more item plug into my outlets. Wish i did not have to have that aqua lifter pug all the time. I will try a valve to try and keep air out of the box and take the aqua lifter out and just use it when i need it...

Definitely recommend it....
I've have this over flow box running now for 3 years with no problems. One great tip is that I use floss in the box to filter and quite the suction of the water noise. I change it as needed but also keep my return set high below the water line so when my main pump goes off my refugium doesn't over flow... Great quality and would recommend..

Excellet flow
This overflow is excellent. The flow is high and works smoothly and quietly. The only difficulty is when the suction line connected to the pump gets plugged with a piece of goo, algae, etc. - when that happens the tank overflows the rim onto the floor. It is absolutely necessary to do regular maintenance to make sure that the suction line does not clog.
