Review: Perfect and well built with 1000GPH flow rate - This came perfect, no damage or missing parts and setup was a breeze. If needed, on the back of the box it has instructions to help you set it up and start the prime on the 1 1/4'' U tubes. The pvc risers fit loose in the bulkheads, so I suggest you silicone them in with aquarium safe silicone, so when you pull out the sponge to clean it, the riser doesn't come out with it. One more thing I will add is that most people and the instructions on the box to prime the U tubes do it the hard way.The following is standard [ for those that don't know] fill the skimmer box and the center chamber in the prefilter up with your prepared salt or fresh water, then fish a 3/16'' standard air line hose up each U tube up to the arch at top of U tube and leave enough extending past the tube to be able to get a hold of it. Place one end of the 2 tubes in the skimmer box and the other ends in the center chamber of prefilter making sure not to move the air hoses. This is were the common mistake happens where most people will suck on the air hose to draw the air out to prime the U tubes, but it is so much easier to BLOW in the hoses and you see the water in the skimmer box and center prefilter chamber rise up and meet at the arch of the U tubes and the tubes are primed and is much faster as well ! This is a 1000 GPH prefilter and comes in a AQUARIUM MASTERS box. Review: Looks Solid, but QC IS POOR - The whole thing looks Solid, but one of the two nuts has no threads. It is impossible to set it up without a trip to home depot. ## Features - Low profile acrylic overflow box hangs on tank - Converts standard aquarium into reef-ready tank - Comes with double foam cylinders, nylon tubes and 1" bulkheads - Ideal for tanks up to 150 gallons ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 56 Reviews | ## Images ![Seapora 56097 Overflow Pre-Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oalUjm7XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect and well built with 1000GPH flow rate *by A***N on September 15, 2018* This came perfect, no damage or missing parts and setup was a breeze.

It is impossible to set it up without a trip to home depot. ### ⭐ Won't stay primed *by A***R on May 9, 2023* I had these on my 150 and 125ga tanks. I found that they needed heavy modification to function properly. Even then, they sometimes failed. One unit was broken on arrival so I glued it back together with weld-on 4. The way the water pours into the Influent side creates bubbles. These bubbles end up stuck at the top of the siphon tube and eventually break the siphon. I fixed this by drilling and tapping an air fitting into the suction tubes and sucking the air out. I found that I could run an air hose from the fitting to my sump and the water would siphon through the air line and take bubbles with it. I was able to limit bubbles on the Influent side by placing a sponge in the filler box. The effluent side can be loud. The provided breather tubes don't help. I was able to make some that worked much better. The effluent side collects a lot of detritus. The units come with slip fit bulk heads to attach your plumbing. The problem with slip fit is it must be glued and then it's impossible to remove the fittings when you want to do maintenance. I replaced them with threaded bulk heads. The time and money I spend messing with these was not worth the lower cost. Skip these and get a nicer overflow box. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/77182070-seapora-56097-overflow-pre-filter](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/77182070-seapora-56097-overflow-pre-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
