Copyright 2000 Richard Durso Picture by Bill Kennedy Bill Kennedy's Implementation of the Durso StandpipeTM Dual Durso Standpipe in a Central Overflow Chamber Most large tanks have two overflow chambers. One on the left and one on the right. However, some large tanks use just a single overflow in the back center of the tank. This is an example of two Durso Standpipes being used in a large tank with just an overflow chamber in the center of the tank. The Durso Standpipes are the lower left and right pipes. The two pipes in the center are return pipes from the sump into the display tank. The appendages off the return pipes are siphon breaks.

Its the first Dual Design that I knew about. And Bill was nice enough to send me some pictures. Many of you know Bill Kennedy as "einstein" who is a #reefs Channel Operator on IRC.
