I chopped a bit off at a time until it was low enough to be quiet and believe it's sitting somewhere around 4" tall ?, which puts it about 17" below the very top of the tank ... ? maybe ?
If you need to know send me a PM and I'll throw a tape in there this weekend
Oh, little tip
Try to have your emerg sloping constantly downhill. Then you don't need to worry about stagnant water
I don't run a trickle through my emerg on purpose as some do and it's fine

Thanks Greg, the stagnant water is what is sitting in the overflow, occassionally the main drain fills up if I forget about the filter sock but not enough to clean it out. The emerg line into the sump is sloped so water does drain.
I'll probably start it around 17" and see how that works. We ended up buying 20' of PVC so got lots to work with...

That makes sense, thanks for posting the pics. Will hopefully get to this over the weekend.
