Man that looks fantastic! Love the rimless look and the live rock you have. I did notice that you are using the same overflow as I am! One thing I have found that will massively increase the capacity of that overflow is to put a T at the bottom and instead of having one open pipe, have two. One is lower and is your main overflow, and the other you put at your max level and is your emergency overflow. Using 1.5" PVC I put through about 1,300Gal/hr without any issues at all. I could easily handle more.
The other thing I do is put an aqualifter at the top where it goes over the rim of the tank and then back into the overflow pipe. It sucks out any bubbles that might get in there and really helps with sleeping at night. With the double overflow, you really need to make sure your pump can handle it as to little flow will cause it to suck air.
Love the tank! Thanks for the pics! =D
