I swear I make more "measure twice, cut once" goof ups the older I get. I was taught better and should know by now since building things all my life.
Well I forget to take the damming effect (I think that's the proper term) and surface tension into account when setting my internal overflow box height. The water level in the DT is a bit too high for my taste and because of the power heads and surface agitation it's clinging up to the lip in certain areas.
Tearing down the tank isn't really feasible nor is trying to remove the overflow and then reinstall it. I need to trim off a good 1/4-1/2" off the top of the acrylic.
The best idea I can come up with is a laminate router bit for a Dremel and clamping a guide on the backside to trim it down. Sanding that much just wouldn't be possible. Not only would it take forever I'd run the risk of causing a leak in the box working on it that long and the high potential that it's not level. I figure some good prep work for the router bit and a taped down plastic drop cloth is my best option unless I'm overlooking something.
I'm open to ideas and suggestions from some fresh minds :)
