I have a 40g breeder with a DIY overflow. The tank bottom is drilled and the overflow is the full height of the tank in the back corner. It is a layer of 1/8" glass siliconed to a piece of 1/8" acrylic. I realize some people will say this is a horrible idea but it's been set up for a year now with no problems.
Anyways, my overflow is too high and I was wondering if there is a way to lower the height of it. I'm moving at the end of June and will have to take everything out of the tank and was hoping there would be an easy way to fix the overflow before I set everything back up. Any suggestions?
I built the overflow the way I did so I could take a razor to it to remove coralline but still can't see through it. I painted the back side of the glass and the front side of the acrylic and then glued them together. It's worked well minus the height issue.
Pictures of the overflow can be seen in my build thread:
