    Look at the last pic on post 1, theres a gray cover that helps prevent anything from going over the top. I'm thinking of putting a little mesh top over it.

    I used a piece of rubber mat cut to fit on top so as to not allow any light.. therefore discouraging any nuisance algea growing in the overflow..and its heavy enough so as to prevent snails and such from kick'n it around..jme.8)

    Ok getting ready to fill her up! Added the recommended plumbing parts, hidden now due to the sand fog, rubble in the fuge and sump area, waiting on the rodi for the last 5 gallons;)
