Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 40 Including Clip

Description

Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 40 Including Clip — Clip-on 40 cm overflow comb for thick 10–12 mm glass

Large tanks are built from thick glass, and a clip made for a 6 mm pane will not grip a 12 mm overflow wall. Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 40 Including Clip (SKU: AM41807) is Aqua Medic’s 40 cm overflow comb with long, rounded teeth, attached to the overflow glass with the clips supplied and sized for glass 10 to 12 mm thick. No adhesive is involved: the clips hold the comb along the top edge of the overflow wall, water flows evenly between the teeth, and fish, plant matter and coarse detritus are kept from entering the overflow chamber. Because nothing is glued, the comb comes away easily for cleaning and maintenance.

The comb measures about 40 cm long and about 5.5 cm high, with teeth of about 3.7 cm. The long, rounded teeth give a deep band of openings that draws the surface evenly across the comb’s width, so the water level in the display settles within the slotted zone rather than at a hard lip. The 40 cm length suits a typical internal overflow on a larger aquarium, or one side of a corner overflow, and it can be positioned anywhere along the edge before the clips are pressed home. For glass of 6 to 8 mm, the 50 cm comb with clips is the matching choice. In service, algae and coralline gradually narrow the gaps between the teeth and the display level starts to creep up; unclipping the comb and scrubbing it under running water restores the flow, and it clips back into the same spot in a minute.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Thick-glass overflows: Overflow walls 10 to 12 mm thick on larger tanks.
• No-glue installations: Fitting a comb without adhesive or drilling.
• Livestock protection: Keeping fish and shrimp out of the overflow.
• Retrofitting: Adding a comb to an existing overflow while the tank runs.

Installation & Replacement Guide

• Measure the glass: Confirm the overflow wall is 10 to 12 mm thick.
• Position the comb: Set it along the top edge where the water should enter.
• Clip it on: Press the clips over the glass to hold the comb firmly.
• Clean regularly: Unclip and brush the teeth as algae build up.
