A higher flow rate from the return pump will also lift the level a bit.

yeah a thin strip of acrylic siliconed to the back side of the teeth will work good

yep that's what ive done 1/2" gap now, still would prefer no gap but leaves no room for MP40 wave fun!

Should be fully running by Friday with some fish, the Mitras will be installed at the weekend providing I can get the bracket overnight from by FedEx.

Looks so good when it's first setup and all clean like that.
