Just bought a used 125 gallon tank that I believe to be a Marineland Perfecto model since it has a single top center brace instead of 2.

These overflows seem a bit odd to me, as the side panels are transparent glass. Does this look like a custom/DIY overflow design?

In the pic below there are only two holes - the others are reflections.

If you know what model this is please chime in so I can find flow rates, etc. (I know I can calculate them based on the weir teeth if needed).

I'm thinking I could plumb this with a full siphon on the left along with a trickle/wet drain, and then a return on the right along with a dry emergency drain. Thoughts?

That should work
