Durso question?

Have durso standpipe.
Am attempting to fine tune the length of the pipe as regards overflow
height.
http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/stand...-standpipe.htm .

Using the "tee" (#5)on the durso as a reference, where exactly should the
waterline in the overflow be?
Halfway up the tee- keeping the horizontal part of the ell (#6) half full?

Want to be sure *before* I cut...

Maybe I've confused myself.....

Maybe the durso determines the height of the water in the overflow rather
than my trying to match the level of the ell to the anticipated water line??

Re: Durso question?

As long the "Street Ell" submerge and water overflow to the standpipe.
If you standpipe is long, you can trim it down to the size you see fit. Mine
is about 3.5in off it overflow base. The longer the standpipe, the more
noise it will generate. You might need to use a sponge or something to
muffle from the endcap.
