durso standpipe length

DevilBoy · 08/18/2009, 09:38 PM

I am making my durso standpipes for my 90g the height is 24" does anyone know how long i should cut the 1.25" pvc that goes into the fitting for the bulk head?

I have a 1" to 1.25" male fitting that is screwed into my bulk head. i dont know how long i should cut the 1.25" pvc that inserts into adapter fitting, then putting 1.25" "T" on .

You want to the top of the drain pipe to be out of the water. Try and make that little hole in the top flush with the trim of your tank. As far as the return goes, keep it at the same height.

with my Dursos, the water level in the overflow chamber is about midway on the Tee section (simliar to the front picture on the Durso site).

Higher the water is in the chamber a little more quieter as don't get as much waterfall noise.
