you should have got a 2" diameter thin wall pipe to go into the top, this is what you adjust in length/height (don't glue it)
What you see is what I've got. Northing more. Anything more on top of the top piece would have made it even higher anyways. I dunno!? Maybe something got glued that shouldn't have been? That standpipe came exactly as it's shown in the picture above...

btw it looks like you got way to much teflon tape on those threads, you only need 5-8 turns max imo, maybe it's just the pic??
I'm going to rewrap that piece anyways because the tape got chewed when I screwed it in the first time. I don't think I put too much on the first time but I will make sure I don't this time.

Hey can you post the pictures of your standpipe and how you modified it to be quieter? Did you just use two 90 degree elbows? I went out and got the pieces I need to complete the return line. I will still need some Locline but I'll get that later. I don't think anyone over here stocks Locline... I think Scott at IPZ has a few pieces... but not everything I need. Guess I'll go back to Mike for that stuff.

Ok so I cut a bunch off the drain line and put a coupler in. I just guessed at the length and I think it's perfect the way it is now. The water is just barely touching the bottom of the Euro braces. Is the water supposed to pour over the edges of the overflow box (through the teeth) or are the teeth just supposed to stop fish etc?

I'm going to go figure something out for the return line now. Will post more pictures when I'm done.
