The Durso Custom Overflow and Standpipe, commonly called the "Durso Overflow"

A solution suggested to Richard Durso by Mark Lanett which uses a solid stand pipe with a submerged intake to solve the commons problems of standard aquarium overflows.  It provides:

1. Little to no water fall,
2. Whisper quiet, no splashing or gurgling,
3. Each chamber becomes a refugium,
4. Chambers will not drain in a power outage,
5. Pipe is self priming.
