At this time it still needs to be tuned for flow. It is definitely skimming the surface already!
Two issues - 1) The water height of my aquarium must be lowered substantially to get this to work. I plan on printing a spacer for my AC30 to raise it up. 2) There are vortices forming off a few of the intake holes that are periodically connecting to the intake, causing the pump to suck a bit of air. I plan on tuning the depth of the box, along with the intake holes to get the flow right.
Update - 10/1/20: I have optimized the design in several ways and also uploaded a spacer for the filter as promised. This spacer is for a 5 mm thick rimless tank. It raises the filter up 15 mm. The tolerance on the slip fit of the intake tube is critical. It is either a b
