This way you also get a little bit more water volume in the tank.

Keep asking questions, this hobby is always a learning experience.

I was looking into an over-flo, also looking into either a new skimmer or modifying this one so it can fit the sump. I'm also considering setting up a 20gal refigium. The main pump running from my sump has an adjustable T-valve attached, before it was running two tanks, figured it would be easy enough to have a second smaller tank just for that purpose.
