Christy - do you remember mine from when you visited?
I've had overflows with & without teeth, but did quite a bit of research when I built this one. Like the fancy Oceanic ones it draws from top, bottom & middle, and I made a cover so things can't crawl over the top. (Helps for algae control too). Every couple of weeks I run a brush over the slits and everything flows just fine... best part is I haven't had to rescue a single animal out of this one, while with BOTH other styles I was up to my elbows it seemed like every other week fishing out everything from clownfish to cleaner shrimp.
