Aqua Medic Combfix – (6 Pcs) — Glue-free holders for fixing an overflow comb to aquarium glass up to 12 mm
An overflow comb siliconed to the glass is there for good, which makes it awkward to clean, reposition or replace later. Aqua Medic Combfix – (6 Pcs) (SKU: AM41806) is a set of six holders from Aqua Medic for fixing an overflow comb to the aquarium without gluing. The supplier describes them as an optional support for Aqua Medic’s comb 50 overflow comb, made of black ABS and suitable for glass up to 12 mm thick. With the comb held by these supports rather than sealant, it can be lifted out for cleaning or adjustment and put back in the same place, something a glued comb does not allow.
An overflow comb, or weir comb, sits at the edge of an overflow and lets surface water spill through narrow slots while keeping fish, snails and floating debris out of the drain. Fixing it with holders instead of silicone has practical advantages: the teeth can be scrubbed of coralline algae and biofilm outside the tank, the comb can be repositioned if the running water level needs to change, and nothing has to be cut away when the comb is eventually replaced. ABS is a rigid, water-resistant plastic widely used for aquarium fittings, and black holders sit unobtrusively against a black comb and overflow box. Before ordering, check two things: that the glass where the comb will sit is no thicker than 12 mm, the stated limit, and that the comb to be fitted is the Aqua Medic comb 50 or shares its profile, since the holders are made for that comb. Because no sealant has to cure, there is no wait with the tank drained before the overflow can run again.
Usage & Application
When to Use
- New overflow set-ups: Mounting a comb 50 without silicone.
- Replacing a glued comb: Switching to a removable fitting when the comb is renewed.
- Easier cleaning: Lifting the comb out to scrub algae from the teeth.
- Running systems: Fitting a comb without draining down to let sealant cure.
Installation & Setup Guide
- Measure the glass: Confirm the thickness is 12 mm or less before fitting.
- Space the holders: Spread them evenly so the comb is supported along its length.
- Set the height: Position the comb so its slots sit at the planned water level.
- Clean as needed: Lift the comb from its holders, scrub the teeth and refit.
