Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 40 Including Clip
Clip-fit overflow comb screens debris without gluing anything to the tank. This 40 cm overflow comb clips directly onto glass 10–12 mm thick, screening overflow water and keeping fish and debris out of the drain without any gluing. Wider tooth spacing than the Comb 32 suits larger overflow boxes.
Key features
- 40 cm comb, ~3.7 cm tooth spacing – wider spacing than the Comb 32, suited to larger overflow boxes and higher flow.
- Clip-fit, no glue – clips directly onto glass 10–12 mm thick, so it can be repositioned or removed without residue.
- Keeps fish and debris out of the drain – screens the overflow while letting water pass through evenly.
- Glass thickness specific – the clip is sized for 10–12 mm glass; thinner or thicker panels need a different mounting option (Aqua Medic's Combfix, or the glue-on Overflow Comb 32).

What's included / What you'll still need

Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: overflow boxes with 10–12 mm glass wanting a tool-free, removable fit.
- Not suitable for: glass outside that range, or installs wanting a permanent glued fit – use the Overflow Comb 32 with holder, or the Combfix accessory instead.
Care and maintenance
Unclip periodically to rinse trapped debris from between the teeth.
Goes well with
- Aqua Medic Overflow Strainer – screens the pipe itself, downstream of the comb.

Common questions
What glass thickness does the clip fit?
10–12 mm. For glass outside that range, Aqua Medic's Combfix accessory or the glue-on Overflow Comb 32 holder are better options.
Do I need glue or tools to fit it?
No – it clips directly onto the glass and can be repositioned or removed without residue.
How is it different from the Overflow Comb 32?
The Comb 40 is longer (about 40 cm vs 32 cm) with wider tooth spacing (about 3.7 cm vs 2.2 cm), and clips onto glass rather than being glued in via a holder.
Will it stop fish from going over the overflow?
It screens out fish and larger debris while letting water flow through evenly, though very small fry can still pass through the gaps.
