AIO tank back filtration

It was really hard to get any kind of effective photo / video. So I measured the top of each water level compared to the display tank elevation.

I'm starting to wonder if the return pump isn't quite powerful enough? I'm still dialing in my ATO, it looks a bit high in the video but I'm shooting for 1/4 - 1'2" waterfall in the return chamber.

Hi, did you ever remove or mod the baffles? I am looking into the icecap 60. How have you liked it so far?
