I dont know if your in the hobby still but your tank is absolutely stunning, visually one of the most appealing to me that I've ever seen
@skipthoming62412 жыл бұрын
Sir , thank you, I was thinking of taking the tank back down and just cutting my losses. I’d looked and looked everywhere online and honestly was about to give up , your video was a godsend and following your lead I fixed it. Thank you again.

Most helpful video on this subject on KZbin. I have a Herbie and I am pretty happy with it so far. Adding that bit of pvc and converting it to a Durso seems to be helpful in some situations.

Thanks for this great video! A loose cap on top didn't quite do it for me (the slurping would alternate between going quiet and starting again) but after inserting a wide rubber band between the T-fitting and the cap (creating an almost air tight seal) this worked flawlessly! No slurping at all anymore, it's all quiet. Thanks again!

Why does the endcap need to be loose fitting? Seems like if it was tight fitting it would be silent as long as you have the air hose properly adjusted.

So I have a display tank with some holes drilled into the back wall and a weir in front. I do not have an overflow box in the back. How can I design my drain setup so that it's more silent or do I have to have an overflow box in the back? Thank you for your videos.
@mistadobalina10932 жыл бұрын
You can make the 2 fittings inside the tank instead - run one just above the water (emergency) and one below (with a tap on the outlet so you can close it until it's full of water only, thus silent)
@jonathanchang13 жыл бұрын
Hey mate, is the size of your main drain 32mm? What is the size of the Tee fittings you have? Trying to find the right size from Bunnings.

I never realized the gurgling siphon from the aquarium sounds like a bong rip. The gurgling from my aquarium sounds like somebody just opened a storm drain that was clogged and all the water is trying to flush in. It's so gosh darn loud... 😱

@joop60453 жыл бұрын
Great video thx! 1 question. I have a breeding rack with 6x 130l aquaria with only 1 standpipe overflow. The tanks are barebottom is it still a extra risk to put a durso on each? Cause I don't want a overflow room😂
@ReefNerd3 жыл бұрын
Im probably not qualified to offer you advice on that scenario... though with that much water, I would personally want an emergency overflow drain

Will the water level rise when you put the T and the cap? Water level inside the overflow box
@ReefNerd2 жыл бұрын
A little bit yes. Depends on the exact plumbing you use. But it will rise in the overflow by approx 5cm if using a similar setup to mine.

Its about 80 Gallons, I am running a Maxspect Turbine duo td-9k, in single outlet mode at 100% as the return. No idea what the flow rate on that is but I am sure you could find the specs from Maxspects website.

A gate valve on the main drain would have fixed this. Can’t believe neptunian cube sell their tanks with such a crappy overflow.

Only the original models like mine don’t have an effective gate valve. All the current and new models have upgraded overflows and include gate ball valves.
