Can I mod Durso to Herbie with this configuration?

Good evening Fishgate, good news it is complete!
It took me about an hour of screwing with the flow to find that sweet spot.
I did almost accidentally flood the floor but that was because I was unaware the bulkhead I have is just a push in piece.

So far so good, I just need to leave it for a while to see if it is in equilibrium.

Right now the only sound I have is from the return ( I need to make some kind of a return baffle.

I will be ordering a gate valve from reefdepot.ca and also a ball float for the return line.
I added the outlet diffuser and it slightly decreased the flow which means I had to readjust the valve.
It’s a work in progress lol.
I have a divided outlet (two streams of current) it is flexible and one of these is completely out of the water.
Is that enough to not create a reverse siphon?

Thanks again for all of your help, I really appreciate it. You made this overwhelming project much more bearable.

Sounds like it is getting towards equilibrium. Shut off your pump and you'll see how much water siphons back into the sump. You can always drill a hole just under the waterline if it siphons too much.

Hey Fishgate, why below the waterline and not above it?

Water will come out of the hole you drill. If it's above the waterline, it'll make noise and possibly spray on something. Under the waterline you'll not have that issue.
