Anyone know where I can see pics of a Calfo Overflow on a working tank?

I'll see if I can get one on my 215... Wouldn't do it ANY other way.

Thanks Bill. We're about to order the 210g, and the only pic I could find to show my wife (Nora) was quiet ugly (even a reefer up here that recommends them commented on it be the ugliest picture of one he had ever seen).
she obviously didn't like it, so she wanted to take a look at another before we decide which overflows to get. Besides not taking up a lot of space, (although she mentioned she thought it would block some of the light), what are the other advantages of this design?

It allows a better, more effecient surface skimming.

Here ya go. I have my cleaner magnets blocking the view of the Calfo - and it's on the side of the tank that is harder to see.

Thanks Bill. What are yours made of? Other in than the Coraline, they look dark. Is that to cut down on algae growth?

Ace made it out of black acrylic. Please feel free to drop by and see it - bring the Mrs. too! Ours is a see-thru tank from our dining to master bedroom. Still haven't finished the back yet... But looks really great from the living/dining room. The calfo is mostly hidden, and even from the front, no one really notices it. It does a FANTASTIC job. The top sheet of my tank moves over every few seconds.

It would love to, especially since what I'm getting is so close to what you already have. Nora has been making rumblings of wanting to go back down to Aquarium Designs sometime over the holidays, so if we decide to I'll PM you to see if we can drop by.

We'll be gone from the afternoon of the 27th to the 1st skiing. Our kids will be here though (college age) if you still want to stop.
