water height / weir / pump flow

[reeferfulton]

internal tank overflow .

no there is no real way of adjusting the teeth height. i made the glass over flow area 22.5 inches tall .
then covered that in acyrilic right to the top of the tank 25"

with teeth cut down from top to the 22.5 inch glass .

Then i added a 1/2 peice of acyrilic all the way around to effectively raise the start of the teeth to 23" ..

How do other people do this ..
I was thinking one day i would upgrade my return pump to a higher flow. but then was stumped , as this would effect my overflow into the wier

So long as your plumbing can handle the increased flow rate you should be good to go the display tank level may shift a bit. Reef central has a calculator for that stuff just the weir size might be off a bit

simply greater the flow, greater the height of water above the weir.

run the overflow capacity calculator on reefs.org as it setup for a notched weir. Might find the increase height with flow not that much depending on how weir is setup (number of teeth etc).
