    so my only real problem: i have to move my tank a few INCHES away from the wall to fit my overflow back there. BAD planning on my part when i started the tank. Any quick and easy ideas?

    I wouldn't worry about it. I like the concept. You can change your flow etc. easily. It's adjustable. Looks like the stuff is pretty resilient.


    I moved the thread.

    Plan a larger than usual water change. Keep some of the water in buckets. Drain it 'til you feel comfortable enough to safely move it. Refill with water saved and new water. Should be an easy job with a 36 gallon.
