In my experience with the herbie setup I can't ever tune the gate valve finely enough to EXACTLY match the pumps output. The output also does change I suppose very slowly as it gets dirty. Either way what I have done is get it as close as possible so that the very slow creep is up and the emergency drain always has a very small amount just seeping down it. Bubble free, silent and like you said I have both my main pipe and my emergency very high. The overflow skims but drops about 1/2" into the box.

When I end up having to upgrade my tank to fit the growing school of tangs, I will probably be looking at a tank of the same dimensions. 72" x 30" x 30". I'd have to remove the door frame but if I have to do that, then it'll be worth it. What a huge thread Tony.

I am glad that your wave box will work for you. When are you putting rock in that bad boy?
