Default durso width

Anyone know how long the width of a duro is? I know its an odd question but i am trying to see if my centre overflow has room for two or not. thanks much!!

If space is a concern, why not do a Stockman style standpipe. It works on the same principle but is smaller. I had to use this idea for my 50 gallon tank which has a fairly small overflow.

Stockman is what I always used, but did some test when setting up my new 180g with a single 1.5" overflow. Stockman is smaller, but not even close to same water flow through it. The Durso kicks ass.

Zer, what size pipe are we talking about? That would make a difference. If it's 1.5", I can check when I get home this weekend.
