3 sections... Left is the overflow. Center is emergency overflow. Right is return. I use the term "planar" because the gap between the glass that the water flows down is only 3/32". So the water forms a flat sheet down the overflow into the weir. That weir is on the bottom (the dogleg section) with the 3 bulkheads.
Does that help any?
I just added some more pipe to the emergency overflow. That trickle that goes down it makes a heck of a racket. So I extended down below the water line in the sump like the primary. Blessed silence.

What material did you use as a separator between the sections? Why a 3/32" gap? Am I correct in thinking the horizontal leg has a larger gap due to the bulkhead thickness?

FTS?
Well, crap.
Heater stuck on. Came home to the water over 100*. I have a controller, but the sensor got bumped or something as it was out of the water. So my tank heater was trying to heat my room.
All fish and crabs dead. Most corals too. Zoas, GSP, and pipe organ seem to have weathered the storm but that's it. The smell is amazing (in a bad way). Big water change and got the temps down to 82. It'll slowly drop to the programmed 78.
