I am replumbing a used aquarium and do not have room in the overflow box for 2 durso standpipes for the 2 overflow drains I'll be using. Is anyone aware of other designs to effectively quieten the drains that require less space? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I uses the stockman type. It works just as good. Check out the link to my tank thread. Sorry I can not post a regular pic they are on my home pc.

Oh yea a parts list

from the top down

1" cap
1" nipple
2"x1" reducer
2" coupling
2"x1" reducer modified
1" stand pipe

I have four 1/4" dia holes in the cap and upper nipple. I drilled them at the same time so they would match. The black line you see in the action shot is to make sure the holes line up. I also sanded the ID of the cap to make it loose so I can tune the air inlet.
