help with synergy reef overflow

[fishstix]

I have the standard 16 inch version, the tank was ordered and drilled by my lfs.

Looking at the overflow box I think I should have been installed a bit lower. It fits, and the lid does as well but I feel like it a bit lose on the back of the tank. The bulkheads are tight. Do I need to shim it all? Just worried it going to leak. I have attached a few pictures, but my phone not great. Not really happy if they messed up as they are good lfs and have always been great reviews. The inside seems to be fine.

Thanks

Anyone have any thoughts on this? LFS told me they tested it for a few days and no leaks, but I just want to make sure to see what you guys think before I spend hours doing all the plumbing. I sure hope it not a lost cause :-(

I think it looks fine. If the bulkheads were installed correctly you shouldn't have an issue. If you went lower, you'd have to go low enough to leave room for the lid and in the end would have a low water line. I installed mine up higher so that I wouldn't have any water line.

It looks fine. If you have any issues with it hitting the trim we have a spacer kit that you can use that will allow it to clear the plastic trim. It's better to be higher than lower.

Thank you so much for your help, I was kinda freaking out a bit about it :-) I feel much better now.

Is the spacer kit for sale on your site, in case I need to order it?

Thanks again

I found the spacer kit on your site, thanks again, do they go between the back of the tank and the external box, where the 1 washer already is on each side?

Thanks
