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.

well Brad its all about baby steps, first i convinced him the small hole in the wall was a good idea, my plan has always been for a bigger hole (in the beginnig it was a bit of a pipe dream). But now the real problem will be convincing him its a good idea to get an electrician in to wire me in a new power box just for the fish room....that's going to be the challenge!

I think this is the way I will go. I look forward to seeing it re-build.
