Durso Question

[Eb0la11]

Ok, so I got word from the shop I can pick up the tank tomorrow so I need to figure out my plumbing sorta soon. Not really super soon because I am actually gone all of next week and potentially wont begin filling/plumbing this beast until around the 19th but we'll see how this week goes if I have time to get live rock curing in the tank or something. It'd be nice.

Anyways, so for a herbie theres just two pipes, one is a standpipe, one is submerged straight pipe right? The submerged takes 95% of water by fine tuning its drain amount with a gate valve and then the other 5% is through the standpipe right? This will make no sound? I guess that 5% just runs down the side of the pipe and makes no sound, correct? I have 2" drains which should easily handle the drainage if one gets even completely blocked

I read this article about it: http://dinardiengineering.com/blog/?p=34 and looked at Fishytime's pics.
