Drain style

[Todd]

I'm in the process of getting a tank built and the bean animal style drain came up. I'm new to that style. Sounds safe as there are three drains. Is it all that much better?

It's very nice. I'll never have a tank without it.

Bean animal or Herbie is the only way to go

I have the animal style and will never go back, silent, moves a ton of water and I had one get blocked by a piece of nori and it never missed a beat. The one suggestion I would say is for the two drains, use gate values on each. I have my overflow plumbed to exit above the surface of the water in my fuge so it it overflows it makes noise. otherwise the only noise i get is my fish breaking the surface for food.

Thanks guys for your feed back. Sound pretty unanimous to me.

If it exits above the waterline then it isn't creating a siphon... unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying


+1 on bean animal. love it!

I am referencing the emergency overflow, it only applies when one or both of the others are blocked/restricted.

Oh ok, got it. Sorry about that.

 

[djam]

just noticed that I didnt specify emergency, I should have. In any case, do it, build it, don't waste time

Yeah bean animal is pretty much a safer herbie. If your overflow has the real estate, might as well bean it
