Man that looks fantastic! Love the rimless look and the live rock you have. I did notice that you are using the same overflow as I am! One thing I have found that will massively increase the capacity of that overflow is to put a T at the bottom and instead of having one open pipe, have two. One is lower and is your main overflow, and the other you put at your max level and is your emergency overflow. Using 1.5" PVC I put through about 1,300Gal/hr without any issues at all. I could easily handle more.
The other thing I do is put an aqualifter at the top where it goes over the rim of the tank and then back into the overflow pipe. It sucks out any bubbles that might get in there and really helps with sleeping at night. With the double overflow, you really need to make sure your pump can handle it as to little flow will cause it to suck air. Love the tank! Thanks for the pics! =D

thanks, but it got torn down.
having a T would be a good idea but what if it got plugged past the T? also the second pipe wouldnt let more flow down because it all goes back to one size. i was having some gurgling and after more research next time i would make the air balancing piece straight up from the last drop to the sump if thats makes sense. what size of tank do you have?
