Waterfall needed?
Does my overflow need a lot of free fall to the internal water level? I have my overflow water level about an inch lower than the display. Will this create issues with surface skimming?
Its just so much quieter that way.

you want different in height between the tank water and the overflow water. any different will do the trick.

I have 0 fall in my weir. Tank height and overflow height are exactly the same, and it doesn't affect the surface skimming one bit.
I prefer it this way as I don't hear the water crashing into the overflow.
