Default Herbie or beananimal

Don't be saying saying from experience your positives and negatives.

If tuned properly, both are dead quite. Bean Animal requires one additional hole in the glass. Both are safe and effective. Unless someone can explain the merits of BA, I will stick with Herbie.

I would like to put something down here... But it would be based on my experience with both.... Maybe try google. It has lots of facts on both set ups.

I used a Durso originally but with a tank upgrade came a Bean Animal.

I wouldn't use anything but a Bean Animal Now.....

The Herbie should for all intents and purposes be the same as the Bean Animal, just the added safety drain that you will hopefully never use - but if you do...... it just saved you a ton of time and money...

Dont cheap out - Get the Bean Animal with the 3 pipes...

Herbie is fine but from my experience and a piece of mind I would recommend the extra hole for a bean animal...In my case I have multi beanie and few animals for that I did 6 holes,as for each hoe has its purpose and 2 of them are the emergency..
