I am using a rimless tank.
The hole that I already drilled in it is (as you mention) a little to high for the emergency outlet indeed. The top of a standard 32mm elbow (I think that is 1.25" for you guys) is exactly as high as the top of the top of my tank. So I have to cut a 0.5" or so from that elbow to fix this. OR I use this hole for one of the other standpipes... (and drill the other 2 holes at other depths that are better for the beautiful BeanAnimal Standpipe system)
The weir I also have to build. I was thinking of an acrylic panel and bend this with my (selfmade) "acryl-bender". So that it looks like this:
What should be a good distance for "A"?
I was thinking of 1" or so...
And about the 2 other holes I have to drill: what would you recommend me to do? (in THIS situation where I am now!! So with that 1 hole drilled "wrong")
Thanks again for all your support
Have a nice evening/weekend,
