Few quick Overflow /durso questions


Ok so on an internal overflow in a glass tank..........

The BH will exit out of the back of the tank. I am planning an overflow of 18" wide (left to right) and 5" deep (front to back) and ~10" tall (top to bottom). According to reefcentral calculators the overflow and 1.5" drain will suffice for the desired flow of 1300gph.

But:

Will a durso work with this limited height and the BH exiting out the back?
Also will a durso designed this way be able to handle the flow of about 1300gph?

have u thought of the ultra silent herbie method? I did it to mine and my tank is virtually silent. The only thing i hear coming from my tank is the skimmer sucking in air

Uh no...never heard of it...just want to make sure this setup will work. Noise isn't a huge concern. In wall setup.
