I prefer a bean animal. But 3 drains are needed. If plausible. I did this system on rusty dogs 240g. Dead quite

I'm running something between the two (bean/herbie), its basically a herbie with a third emergency standpipe. As pictured, The middle is an adjustable syphon, the left is a trickle and the right is the emergency in the unlikely event of the fist two becoming blocked.

I gotta agree with Denny on this one. Herbie is much more simple and dead silent. all you need is two stand pipes and a gate valve. Just make sure the two stand pipes go independently to the sump.
