    This is a really weird poll because if you set up the overflow kit PROPERLY then you will avoid all the negative issues listed above...

    For example, you will never flood a tank unless you overpower the drain by using an oversized pump or restricting the drain somehow into the sump..

    You will also get good surface skimming if you place the durso sufficiently below the water surface in the overflow..

    as for noise, this really depends on how you run the plumbing from the bulkheads down into the sump not really on the durso design with these kits....granted, they are not as quiet as a herbie but they are not that noisy either..

    Thanks for your input Raf
    Unfortunately what you have stated is the extent of all I could find on the web about these tanks. And what I did find raised some unanswered questions

    My original post went on ignored for over a month
    So, weird or not, I started this poll as I could not think of where else to turn for some answers
    It didn't even dawn on me to ask someone such as yourself. If I'm not mistaken, you are in the maintenance biz? So I gather you've had a fair amount of experience with this particular design

    If I use this style of tank, I would definately go Herbie
    I was even toying with the idea of drilling the back to improvise a Beananimal

    Now you have left me wishing I could close this poll
