Tweaking a Durso Standpipe

Here's a way to make it even quieter. I've used Durso standpipes since 2002, which are simple and quiet. They press together, no glue necessary. I noticed it was a tad echo-y under the solid lid, so I made a minor mod to tweak it and it made absolutely silent. This is in a 60g aquarium with a single 1" drain.

Amazing. I tried this and it worked perfectly! Quick question, what about the overflow sounds? I have a waterfall sound from the water falling into the overflow box. Do you have any suggestions?

If you can limit how far the water pours down into the overflow box, that will help. 1" lower is good. 2" lower is louder...

It seems like that is like the megaflow overflow kit. What size pipe are you running for your return and durso pipe?

Just saw this un-answered question. There is a 1" drain and a 1" return. All the details are here: melevsreef.com/60g-anemone-cube

Another great vid. Hope you are healthy and doing great. Why do you think algae grows in overflow and not in aquarium? It sounds like placing a lid in all in one reservoirs might be a good idea also. All in ones are becoming popular. Really love your vids

+eric olsen Algae grows everywhere if given a chance. The overflow area usually has nothing in it - no snails or hermits, so algae can grow uncontested. In the display section, a clean up crew will always devour it. So the lid keeps that area in the back nice and clean.

Set up a durso but im getting air bubbles in my reefmat any ideas ?

i just set up a new tank with a durso, I have no flushing or air sounds at the overflow, but the water/air coming into my sump is SUPER turbulent and loud. My stand has a open back for ventilation which adds to the issue. Do you have any suggestions for reducing the turbulence coming into the sump? I've seen many suggest a filter sock, but I don't really like the idea of having to change even more socks every few days. Thanks!

Do you have the drain pipe submerged in the sump? It should only go down about 1" under the surface; this will help immensely. How long has the tank been running?

I use something from Instant Ocean called Reef Chips. They look like Fruity Pebbles. :)

I was just going to ask you about what food you are using with the Ehiem feeder. Guess I gotta wait!
@melevsreef
@melevsreef 9 лет назад
No, I'll tell you. Just don't share it. ;) It's Marine Chips by Instant Ocean; they look like Fruity Pebbles. But next week's video will talk about much more than that.

I made the exact durso but when i turn off my return pump the Siphon doesn’t break. How can i prevent that?

Mine has two holes on the side of the elbow as well as the vent hole on top. It came like that from the lfs I bought the tank setup from. It’s super noisy so thinking about putting on a new elbow with no side holes and drilling a new hole on top
@melevsreef

Definitely give that a try.

What do you do for like the splashing noise from the water where it drains into the sump, I have a tank with a Durso in my room that is silent. But I'm upgrading to a larger tank and when I check for leaks in my garage I noticed the louder noise. I already have a filter sock and pvc that goes about an inch below water line, it does help but not as quiet as if like. Would putting bigger whole in the vent of the Durso help with that?

How long has it been running? It takes about two weeks for the internal walls to slime over. After that, it’s usually pretty quiet.

I need to make that cover for my overflow where did you get the material?
@melevsreef
@melevsreef 7 лет назад
I work with acrylic all the time, and ordered a sheet of polycarbonate with one order. I make overflow covers. Let me know the measurements of yours. Click Contact Us on melevsreef.com and I'll get you a price.

So is this polycarbonate plastic acrylic and does it bond to acrylic with Weld On 3?
@melevsreef
@melevsreef 9 лет назад
You can bond acrylic to it with Weld-on, like if you wanted to put some small ribs underneath to keep it exactly in the right spot.

This just seems like a video to sell the fish feeder I didn't hear any difference in sound via a video what says silencing your durso pipe
@melevsreef
@melevsreef 2 года назад
You aren't wrong. I made a slight tweak to the setup, and it got quieter, and while I was filming I decided to explain another part of my setup and why I liked it.

You have that backwards. I discussed the Durso at the beginning. Then I got off topic. 😁
