I don't think your tank sucks. From the plant tank pic three things are clear. The plants are healthy, the fish are healthy and you really don't like doing gravel vacuuming.
Continuous drip system for fresh water tanks.

So where does the water overflow at? How does this whole thing work? I read the first page and I still dont quite get it.
So the plants are whats really doing the filtration on the 58, aided by the continuous water change. The 120 still needed bio filtering?
Its pretty nice idea I have always wanted to do it I am just fearful of Chloramines , After losing two connected planted tanks to Chloramine death from a failed ball valve.

Check your local water supply. NYC adds chloramines, which do not gas off as chlorine does. Furthermore, you need chemicals that remove the chloramines specifically. If you simply use chlorine remover, you end up with ammonia.
I go to college in Florida and they don't use chloramines. Water changes can be done with straight tap (as long as it isn't too large a portion). This system would work well there if I could re-plumb my dorm.
Chlorine isn't as harmful to most fish as people think. In fact, I have seen fish quarantined in 100% untreated tap to rid them of pathogens.

This system is pretty impressive I must say. I actually plan on doing something similiar with my 230 oceanic in the future.
