Oh.
It looks like the return is just pumped up that one back corner-channel, and just kinda spills out of the top. Maybe the triangle is a piece of acrylic? About 1:20 on the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XZD1qJsf6U
edit:
err 1:00 on the vid. And never mind, you saw it.
The part that I still don't get is how it's supported underneath? With the glass boxes on the underside corners and the closed-loop system in the middle, how is the tank supported underneath?

I imagine very similar to most tanks, there's just more pressure points from the design and more room for potential failure. I bet they used a very thick piece of glass on the bottom pane.
Just a guess though.

Thank you guys !!
Let's see if I can make myself understood !!!
This system is characteristic declines and rising in the corners of the aquarium.
The illustration shown in post Bent, shows four boxes on the glass bottom, but that's not the only way to be done ... in the case of my tank I had the impossibility of 4 boxes, then did an internal channel joining the 3 falls in one box ...... with that the aquarium was with two boxes, one for the ascent and another for the return of water.
*
Normally do this kind of aquarium with glasses a little thicker than normal because it is a rimless aquarium and a few holes in the bottom glass ...
We never had cracking problems doing that way.
The aquarium rack openings are made to position the boxes.
Sorry guys, not properly speak English, and often use the Google translator.

Where can I buy this fitting? Or how do I make it? What size 1.5", 1", 3/4"?

We are in different countries, and perhaps, the measures of connections and pipes are different ....
I think you must use creativity and see what parts can be used in your country.
Thank you !!
