Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 50 Including Clip
A 50 cm overflow comb that clips straight to the glass, no gluing required. The Aqua Medic Overflow Comb 50 lets water pass through evenly along its full length while catching leaf litter, coral fragments and fish before they reach the drain. This version ships with the mounting clips only — there is no glass retainer in the box, so the comb attaches directly to the glass and lifts straight off for cleaning.
Key features
- 50 cm comb length — suits standard-width overflow boxes and full-width external overflows.
- Clips straight to the glass — no retainer to glue in first, nothing permanently fixed to the tank.
- Even flow through the teeth — water passes along the whole comb rather than pooling at one end.
- Removable for cleaning — unclips in seconds when debris builds up.

Common questions
Why doesn't this one come with a retainer?
It's the clip-only version of the same comb, for anyone who'd rather not glue a retainer inside the overflow. The comb clips directly to the glass instead.
Can I add a retainer later?
Yes — the retainer sold with the Overflow Comb 50 Incl. Holder & Clip is compatible with this comb; buy that version if you decide you want one.
Will the clips mark my glass?
Aqua Medic doesn't publish a specific answer for this comb. If your glass is coated or tinted, check with us before ordering.
