looks cool, but one more input. I am not a fan of overflows with teeth, I find them loud and hard to clean. what I have been foing laitly is just having a area that is 1/2" lower than the tank walls out of plexy and rounding it over so it is smooth. I find this makes a more laminer flow which makes less noise, is more simple to keep clean, and doesn't plug up like teeth do.

I too don't run teeth. I like the smooth solid flow without them.
