Questions - Need some input

So I decided to reward myself for (finally) getting my BBA by building me a reef tank. I had a tank for several years but due to frequent moves I had to take it down. I had purchased a 75 gal tank a while back, but it has sat in a back room for to long!

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a new aquarium set up, and I was wondering if anybody has every removed the ugly black overflows on the all glass aquarium magna overflow.

Anybody have any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Good Start???

Firstly I'm new to Reef Addicts. I have some experience with salt water. 55G Fish + Reef. 12G Nano and currently a 6G Nano with 2 clowns mated. 2 inches of sand and LR. There are some shrooms growing on the LR and some hard green hair algae.

I'm building a new custom 80G (360 degree view) center overflow and returns so all pipes hidden. LED's etc and a lifereef system below.
