Send Me Your Standpipe Pics TOTW 10-13-07
I need some pics of the best way to build a standpipe. I will have a 2" bulkhead. Send any pics or diagrams to give me an idea of where to go. I know Samper has one he wants me to do. Samper, can you draw it and post it please!?!?!?!?

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
alright... sounds good. I've got my overflows cut with only 4 - quarter inch teeth and gutter guard silaconed into it to keep anything from spilling over. Do you think that will be ok and help with getting more water over? or is it a bad idea?

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
I'm sure some others will have standpipe pics. They are really pretty easy to make though.
If I read correctly you only have a total of 4 1/4" slits in each overflow? If so I would recommend to put many more in each. Here is the idea behind the stockman overflow that I built. R. Durso's 180g - Ken Stockman Standpipe

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
No no, I only have 4 - 1/4" posts or whatever you want to call them. I have a ton of open space with the gutter guard covering it. They act as supports for the gutter guard. Reefland was worried about the overflows not handling the flow, so I made very large openings (like 2"s)...

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
I thought he was worried about bulkheads not handling the flow of the mag 36. Sorry about that. With the gutterguard as you described you may want to double it up. I doubled some up on the inside of both of my overflows right behind the all of the 32 teeth on each overflow. This kept a lot of the smaller snails out of the overflow/sump and didn't restrict flow but it was a pain to take out and clean because all the lights had to come off.

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
You can cut a little off the T and Elbow to shorten it a bit for a tighter space.

Re: Send Me Your Standpipe Pics
Yes you can do that if you have to but mine is 6" across so it's already pretty small.
