just close the valve slightly to raise the water level. (I skimmed through I'm assuming it's a herbie now)

Water level in the overflow needs to be lower than the display for effective surface skimming so you can't use standpipes or the gate valve to adjust tank level. The tank water level is set by the notch depth for the external overflow, you can raise it with a layer of silicone or a piece of acrylic however you obviously can't lower it. A higher flow rate from the return pump will also lift the level a bit.

yeah a thin strip of acrylic siliconed to the back side of the teeth will work good:)

yep that's what ive done 1/2" gap now, still would prefer no gap but leaves no room for MP40 wave fun!

Should be fully running by Friday with some fish, the Mitras will be installed at the weekend providing I can get the bracket overnight from by FedEx.

I'll make it even easier. Send a couple more my way and you may get an even better discount on all of them. :)
