Default coast to coast or Durso, Herbie???

Well, I'm planning oour next tank. Either way, tank will be 150+g leaning on 180-210!??! Researching other overflow designs. Present tank, is Durso style, only because I was to impatient to learn and drill more holes for a herbie style with the gate valve and Emergency drain. I'm really liking some of the Coast to coast drains I have seen limeted pics of. PVC pipe with a slot in it, and holes in back of the tank, not bottom.

Few questions on the CTC design. Do they make alot of noise? My Durso, I get noise from the air being introduced in the vent and sucked down into the sump. Not alot, but its an erratic bubbling. Some pictures of peoples different CTC designs would be cool for design ideas.

Thx in advance

PS, A wavebox is in the plans too, so does this affect the operation?
