![]() Once you clear the clog, it will go back to normal.Īfter everything is said and done, the two things I would change are the width of the new weir(front to back) and the valve on the siphon. In the event that one clogged, the water would continue to rise, and eventually go into the emergency and flow down that. Because it's not taking all the flow the water level will rise to the inlet of the wet drain and eventually start going down that(like a traditional durso standpipe) the amount of water that goes down the wet is little, so there isn't a lot if any noise. Now remember we set the siphon to take most but not all of the flow. So all the water is going to go to the siphon drain. Once both overflows are filled (if you were just setting up a tank it would go in both equally) the path of least resistance will be the overflow on the right because the inlet of the wet is too high. It overflows both the factory weirs and the new weir. C2C skimming also helps to reduce noise and air entering into the overflow. I added the weir because it would serve two purposes, one, connecting the overflows and two, giving me coast to coast(C2C) skimming. ![]() A few solutions are to remove both overflows, put in a false wall all the way across making one big overflow (also taking away a lot of display area), I could have run a pipe from overflow to overflow in the display(which wouldn't have been bad if I kept it under the sand level), and lastly what I did, was to connect the two with a weir. How do I make dual overflows work as one was my new problem. Because I have a reef ready tank, with two overflows, I could have done a Herbie or leave the standpipe, but neither is perfect, and in my opinion far less superior to the bean animal(also I should note, bean animal took a herbie design and added an emergency, so although the herbie was really good, once the bean animal was made, it's no longer the best ) Most of the time you see all of this done in one overflow box and in the back of the tank. That's the basic design of the bean animal. If the siphon or wet (when I install the airline piece in the cap) reach a certain level, they will turn into siphons a "œflush" all the water into your sump. The last pipe is emergency, which will take flow in the event the wet or siphon become clogged. The wet stand pipe takes any fluctuations that are in the flow. Pumps fluctuate, so you couldn't only have a siphon, because of that you have a wet stand pipe. Since a siphon is the best way to move water and is absolutely silent, that's takes the bulk of the water flow. The siphon will be solid with water and have a valve to control flow through it.
