OVER FLOW!!! (TEAR)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thats gonna be tough with the design of the Durso since it will stick out above water level. maybe look at the other designs?
 
yea thats what i mean.
what are all other options?
do you think just a slotted cap with a air hole and tubing would work ?

ha but do you know the third one or any other options?
 
ok i thought up a pretty good idea. an di would have figured out if it worked but i got 1.5 in pipe and the bulk head is 1.25 :(
but what im thinkin of doin is cutting slits all around the pipe pretty wide. to where there is more open than pvc. and then get a cap for a slightly larger pipe and silicon it to the top so its kinda like a 360 degree durso. also i will drill a hole and add a air line. but that sounds pretty effective right ?
 
the third option I assume is the Stockman stand pipe. This is the one I am going to be making in the next few days when my parts arrive. I will post construction pics and if it works or not.
I don't have much noise from my over flow anyway so it is going to have to be pretty good to reduce what noise there is.
 
i will check that out thanks!
 
Fixed my post. Thanks Cichlid2006.
 
i think im calling my design the scarberry standpipe :)
if it works..... knock on wood
 
ok well that was fun.
spent all night working on it. ended up just doing a straight tube. its actually pretty quiet. i might add somethin later but i was just done working by 430 am and didnt want to mess with it.
but i pianted the pipe drak blue and it matches the background perfect. the tanks looks alot more open without that giant pipe.
