![]() +1 on the extra hole. The second hole can be for a 1" or even 3/4" pipe that catches the overflow once your dial in the Herbie. Your serenity will thank you.

![]() The Herbie system is the safest and quietest method of doing an overflow....its totally a gravity feed, no gurgling, no fiddling with vent hole sizes, no back pressure....it will cost you probably around $80(cost of the extra hole, a few plumbing parts and a gate valve) more to do a Herbie, but well worth the investment IME....the link in your last post has lots of good tips and info....if you have any other questions about it or need more detailed pics, just ask.
