I would have left the overflow alone and not cared about the surface wave myself as long as you are getting motion below where you want it.

if I could get the motion along my rock with out the surface moving that would be the ideal setup.

by blocking off your coast to coast you are defeating why they were so good to start with.

you could always look at the flow along your rock/corals and see if blocking it off actually makes a difference or not.

That's just it, I wasn't getting the flow needed below the surface. AND, the amount of weir I lowered still allows some coast to coast overflow. But maybe 1/16" now with the wave, not the 3/8" it had all across the 60" length. So in essence, I am probibaly skimming the same surface as I was, Just the surface tho, not some depth like before. The center cut out handles the volume
