I do have an emergency standpipe, but the siphon break is to prevent water from going back to the sump through the return (back through the pump) if the pump were to lose power...otherwise a siphon is created from the tank to the sump. That make sense?

Stircrazy...lots of good info on here about the Herbie overflow, as well as reefcentral. Albert used to be the guy to speak with, not sure if he is still around or not...
