    A friend, fellow 3reefer, and future philanthropist gave me a 210 gallon tank this weekend. Needless to say I no longer sleep from the excitement of this amazing beast sitting behind my couch and it has probably used up all my luck for the next 70 years or so. It has a built in corner overflow and I've heard a rumor that somewhere in the DIY archives there is a plan for a stand pipe to fit into this corner overflow and reduce the noise substantially. If anyone happens to have a quick link to it I would seriously appreciate it.

    Thanks a ton!

    I think I remember reading about it...I assume you don't wanna just order a Durso? (if that will even work)

    ^I'm unfamiliar with these larger systems so unfortunately its just a bump for now.

    I run 2 of these Duro's Standpipes and they work great. Just remember to increase the size of the standpipe larger then your bulkhead size. 1" bulkhead 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" Standpipe.
