![]() I would continue to use the 2x.75" lines in each overflow as a return from sump to the tank (pressure side of the pump). If I add an additional wet to each one then it becomes a Bean. My thought was I would use the existing 1.5" drains for emergency overflows and add the full siphon drains (1", 1.25" or 1.5") to each overflow. So it is likely just pulling too much so the siphon continually starts and stops, so you just need to close the valve until the siphon engages, then slowly dial it in to adjust your overflow level. But to do that I need to have an emergency drain. Okay, so a 1' pipe with a at least a two foot drop (with a full siphon) will pull quite a bit more than 600 GPH. But it will most likely have two overflows with two holes each. The second standpipe is a typical durso style that an airline is attached to as the vent and is ran back into the overflow at max water height (where you determine that is) and will cause a siphon when that tube is blocked. Planning plumbing for a new tank, and Id like to do a bean animal. So I decided I wanted to rework everything and go to full siphon drains. Basically it is one pipe setup as a siphon that you restrict slightly as to not be able to take all the flow and start flushing. ![]() When I did my initial plumbing and leak test I could get the durso's quiet but the drains in the sump where very noisy & full of bubbles (which will cause salt creep). 75" returns are up close to the front of trapezoid close to where the sides meet it. The 1.5" drain is about dead center in the trapezoid and the 2x. Dursos can be adapted to different overflows, but if you want silent flow, theyre quite limited. Herbies really work best in a corner or full depth overflow. I thought bean animal was supposed to be quieter than this. But part of the equation is your tank/overflow setup. However, it is still pretty noisy, it sounds like a fast drip rather than the gurgling. ArtFully Acrylic & Incredible Corals LLC 94 subscribers. Now, it looks like the majority of the overflow is being routed down the primary, a little bit is trickling down the secondary and the third (emergency) is dry.
