Herbie Overflow
Could some of you that have Herbie overflows take a pic of your plumbing under the tank. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing but it wouldn't hurt to see how you've set up your gate valve, etc. In searching on the forum, everyone seems to take pics of the overflow side of it only.
Thanks.

  Blue tube you can see, is my emergency drain, ABOVE the water line, so you can hear it... the lines coming off the gate valve are the main drain, one into the skimmer section, and one into the fuge.

Thanks you everyone for the shots so far. This is what I thought it would look like but better to ask now rather than get it wrong and have to fix.

I think I've got mine set up fine, but is there a way to Set-it-and-forget-it? I keep having to fiddle with the ball valve to keep the level up or down in my sump. The return end of the sump is about 12gal, but the levels fluctuate as much as 4-5" during the day.
