Yeah, she is alright

It helps when you get to do a sweet aquarium for a birthday gift and not something lame.

With the overflow, make the top of the screen below the top edge of the tank. That way when (and not if) that screen ever gets plugged, the water can over flow past the screen and into the back, rather than onto the floor.

Where is the inlet coming from back into the tank?

Check out this guy's plantonkreisel design: http://www.biolbull.org/content/204/1/68.full.very nice in that the inlet creates a laminar flow over the outlet screen which prevents jellies from getting stuck on the screen.
Thanks for the link! I'm hoping 1/2" is enough for the condensation, but maybe for that panel I should go thicker?
