2. Take a Dremel-type tool and cut off most of the lip with a cutting wheel.

3. Switch to a grinding stone and finish off the rest of the lip until flush with the rest of the cover.

4. Take 150-200 grit sandpaper and wet sand the area until it is perfectly smooth.

That's it. In about five minutes you've got a lot more flow. That lip severely restricts quite a bit of flow. My 6055 can now reach across the length of my 6-foot tank whereas before it only got to around 4 feet or so before the flow died.
