• The principles of Durso and others like him ...

Since this topic has been raised here, perhaps experienced individuals could share their knowledge with younger brothers? What I know about such systems can be summarized in a few key points: 1. The overflow system must ensure the supply of water from the sump to the aquarium and its return. 2. The system should be designed with a margin for draining water from the aquarium to avoid overflow and "leaking" problems. Hence the conclusion: the diameter of the drain pipe should be larger than the diameter of the supply pipe to provide that margin. Problems: if the water does not completely fill the pipe, it creates sloshing sounds during movement, as the flow is turbulent. Solutions: 1. Precise adjustment of the supply - technically impossible. 2. Durso, Stockman, Hofer systems. I would like to hear about the latter from our Gurus.

The second option for such systems: Author Ken Stockman It's a pity that such a design is only applicable in the presence of a shaft. Source.

Third option: Ho Gurgle Buster On the left fully open, on the right - closed. ..................... The "inverted" Stockman overflow option + air intake. Again, it can only be installed if there is a shaft. Description in Russian here.

Double-barreled P.S. Besides the "double" version, the "slim" design and construction of the water intake are also interesting.

Not only!

We mainly use Durso as this system has proven to be viable and the least troublesome to manufacture. The pipe narrowing is usually done with a ball valve.

Can I get a close-up photo of the device?

Aquas Way-x, ask him for it.
