I have the 30 and 60 deep blue cubes. The overflow adjustment screws are a PITA. The slashing water sound as it overflows onto the screws is annoying. For now I have a couple small aquaclear sponges over the screws to quiet the sound. I am curious what others are doing???

Why dont you raise your durso pipe?
Is this what you did? I could make a longer durso pipe but I'm not sure how that would work? The screws are even with the water level inside the tank. Currently the overflow water level is 2 1/2" lower. I used the kit plumbing that came with the tank.
Yea I originally wanted a 57 but when I saw that overflow I got the 60 instead. Did you have a splashing sound from the screws in the 57?

I have a 75 rimless. The waterfall noise I had was due to the drop in water.
I bought the adjustable durso. It's the mega overflow kit. Water now runs right at the grates above the screws. And the stock cover still fits. Dead silent!

Be careful with the deep blue bulkheads. Move them too much and the nut pops. Mine did and flooded my stand.
