In your situation the Herbie is probably the best bet. Because I think you're right, if you went with dual Durso's, you would need them small enough that each could handle all of the flow single handedly in case of a blockage on one of the standpipes.

I would say just definitely make sure you have strainers on both standpipes, and be diligent about keeping them clean lol

Yup darn noise durso!

When I ran my herbie I had a strainer on my main drain and had the other open. I the year I had the herbie I never had to clean the strainer once? I will add I never had a HA problem either. I diligently checked it on water change day but had no build up.

Good luck man, sorry for the Herbie/Durso war.

Great input guys. Thanks so much. I think the herbie makes the most sense, because of what we discussed. Perhaps I will get a DC return pump and just run what I can get in the one line. But pretty sure I will go herbie now and yes I will get strainers.

Thanks again.

don't forget to make a fake over flow to hide the pipes

Only update I have..Notice the blood that left..

This is the access from my fishroom/office to the living room where the tank is. That blue line is my Shaw cable. Had to be careful around it. Of course its the same freakin spot.
