The adjustment was meant for the Herbie, not the durso, my mistake. Thats a good idea for the Sump end of things, the salt creep was terrible when I ran my durso and the noise was unbearable. Good to see you put the emergency drain in. I was told I wouldn't need one when I first started in this hobby … boy were they wrong lol

The sump end of the pipe mod wasn't my idea but it does work. I have been lucky that the only things that went down my pipe were fish that were too small to plug anything up. I had a yellow watchman goby that was using the pipe as a water slide every day. I eventually just left him in the sump as that seemed to be his preference anyway. I know of others that have had problems with their durso's as well and with so many different configurations such as pipe size, return pumps, etc it's not going to always work for everyone.
