Hello,
Right now my tank is just about as tear down as it can get. IceCap ballast needs to be serviced, skimmer pump needs to be plumbed, and guess what, overflow almost overflowed on me today!
Lucky I noticed the water level getting to a level that was too high to be safe... water was actually touching the rim. So after about 2.5 years of use, the CPR overflow accumulated enough tube worm, corraline algae, green algae, etc to the point that the flow rate is not able to keep up even a tiny Maxi-Jet 1200 pump pushing up about 3' of head.
Well either the stuff inside the overflow go or my carpet go. :D
