I have had problems with snails and fish going overboard due to the flow i have. This is a great DIY idea that I thought i would share. I made the top clear so i could see whats going on inside and vented as a backup just in case the side slots get clogged for some crazy reason as well as keep jumpers from hurdling over. slots are 3/16 wide to keep even the small guys out. machined by Me

CALFLO aka Coast to coast overflow

I might be willing to make a couple in the future but everyones calflo is different and it needs to be custom fit to each. thanks for the comments guys
