Mine is right at 1" but wish I had the extra 1/4" as my wave makers can easily splash it over the edge.

I'm right at 1".
But I have to be careful of which way I point my Tunze 6055's.
I change the direction around every once in a while and if I'm not careful, I get water splash over the front edge.

1.25 for me. That is where Planet Aquariums had the overflow Drain pipe set at. Emergency overflow is set 3/4" higher. If you wanted it lower, I would think you could shorten the drain pipe a little. JMO

Mine at 1-1/4". I would like it to be a little higher, but with my current overflow kit that's as high as I could get it.

Just measured mine. Looks like miracles cut the overflow 2 1/4" deep so it runs ~ 2" from the rim with the water level level 1/4" higher than the overflow for skimming. I just trusted them to do what works best and have been happy.
