Rimless Overflow Height

How many inches from the top do you have your overflow placed in your rimless aquariums?

dont forget that the water will flow higher than your teeth height depending on how much you flow thru your tank.

1 1/2" to 2" is fine. i had it around 3" on one tank, didnt look right.

The top of the overflow box on my rimless 50 is 3/4".
The bottom of the teeth sits at 1-1/2".
The water level in the tank is 1" below the rim.
