Stockman overflows

Stockman/Durso are the same thing, Just configured a little differently. But, they function exactly the same. My tank's prev owner was using Durso style 1.5" and 1" for the overflow drains. Had about 3000 GPH no problem.

Cant be done now. Its going to be a single stack overflow. Perhaps I will try the Hofer Gurgle Buster

I use a 1" stockman, its been running almost a year problem free. Just need a gate valve to tune it like any overflow.

I've got a 1.5" stockman on my tank, I was a bit creative about how I put it together but it works like a charm and is way quieter than the durso I used to run.

Thanks Christy. Perhaps thats what I will build then. The Hofer link looks interesting though.

scoobie, I have a dislike for valves on overflow outputs. Has to be quiet without one.

I second the HGB but use larger piping.

1.25" pipe
2" coupling
1.25" x 2" bushing
1.25" cap

These work best for smaller overflows or when space is tight. I also never use the tubing, I just drill a hole in the top just like a durso.
