HI there,
I've been reading all this messages about the Durso standpipe in the
mailing list ,which seems a recent discovery in the US, but in Europe
we've been using this system for years.. And we don�t use a T and a
Street Ell, we use a Y part, hence making a 45� bank instead a 90� , a
more smooth ( and less noisy ) operation.
Hope it helps,
Goncalo Proenca

Barry,
I had a noise problem with my overflow as well. The best fix I have ever
seen for this is a standpipe design called a Durso (I think) standpipe.
The guy that thought of this is, in my book, a genius and has saved many
a reefkeepers countless sleepless nights. Try this link below, and look
for the standpipe design (this is an old link, and I am at work where
believe it or not, we don't have internet access, otherwise I would
check it first myself). It is truly a thing of beauty! It is cheap,
takes about 10 bucks and fifteen minutes to make. I cant even hear my
overflow any more, at all.
Good luck,
Shane C.

Reefkeepers:
I'm having a terrible time with my overflow unit. It keeps
making all these
loud gurgling noises. I can't seem to quiet it down! I've
tried using it
with a ball valve, took out the prefilter sponge in the
overflow, and have
tried putting a piece of airline tubing down the drain hose. So
far nothing
has worked! I'm open for suggestions or would I be better off
with a
siphonless type of overflow unit such as the one made by CPR?
Thank you
Barry
