Wet/dry Filter setup

[holme009]

Hi! I am new to this forum. I think it's great! I hope someone can help me.
I have always had Cichlid tanks and now I am starting a saltwater tank. I have an Amiracle Slimline Filter (SL-150) and it did not come with an instruction manual. I am very familiar with canister and other filters but this is new to me. I have a 55 gallon glass aquarium. It is not drilled. I got the filter for an extremely low cost and as a result, it is missing the manual and a return line. Is anyone familiar with these filters? I will be so appreciative of any tips you can offer. Thanks so much for your time!!!

Hi and to the forum.

you will either need to get the tank drilled or get an overflow box to feed the filter. You will need a return pump of around 2500lph. I have never used these filters so I'm not to sure on the pipe diameter but I'm sure someone else will know

Thanks!!! I should have mentioned that it has two clear boxes, one of which I assume is the overflow box.
It was supposed to come with one.
I do appreciate the reply and welcome message.

Does one hang over the side of the aquarium?

There are two square clear boxes, one is a little larger than the other one and a third small rectangular unit that looks like it would hang on the side.
