My tank is the same as you're talking building yours.

The overflows are about even with the bottom of the trim and with the return running, you can't see the water line below the trim and have the 3/4" clearance from the brace.

So you dont think that there will be any issues there only being 3/4" clearance between the top of the overflow and the top of the tank? All the lfs dudes Ive asked say I should have around 2" clearance.

Guess would say to the LFS guys to explain the problems. Mine's been up for +2 years and I can't think of anything.

If I did have the 2" clearance then I'd be looking at the waterline and the salt creep above, something personally I wouldn't want.
