Does anybody else find the two tiny overflow weirs extremely underwhelming for that size tank? On top of their tiny size (and inability to remove to clean) they are pushed all the way to one end in the back corner. I am finding myself having to be extremely creative with flow to try and push everything to one side of the tank to be sucked up.
 
Were you able to get this corrected?
Nope....not a lot of people have Cade's I guess lol. There really isn't a way to correct other than add an external filter to one side to help with mechanical filtration. I did change the powerhead schedules to have the right side increase and power and the left side shut off for about 2 hours overnight to try and push everything to the left side (and get sucked up by the two tiny weirs).
