Cant be done now. Its going to be a single stack overflow. Perhaps I will try the Hofer Gurgle Buster

I use a 1" stockman, its been running almost a year problem free. Just need a gate valve to tune it like any overflow.

I've got a 1.5" stockman on my tank, I was a bit creative about how I put it together but it works like a charm and is way quieter than the durso I used to run.

Thanks Christy. Perhaps thats what I will build then. The Hofer link looks interesting though.

scoobie, I have a dislike for valves on overflow outputs. Has to be quiet without one.

I second the HGB but use larger piping.

1.25" pipe
2" coupling
1.25" x 2" bushing
1.25" cap

These work best for smaller overflows or when space is tight. I also never use the tubing, I just drill a hole in the top just like a durso.

Could it not be made 1.5in. pipe? Although with only 600gph, I suppose I could reduce it to the 1.25in.
