    Thanks for the kind words...I have the level very close to the top because the return setup. The return pipe has to be high as possible as to not overflow the sump in a power lose situation. The over flows are 2 x 1" elbows w/ an inch of PVC so I can turn them to set water level ...so no need to fear overflowing :) . Return is a 1" elbow up, with a plug in it, and then the very top of pipe facing in to aquarium is cut to direct flow...everything painted black with krylon fusion.
