Durso/Megaflow Help

[rooster426]

Hi-Just seeking advice about setting up a drilled 125. Had some advice that the "Durso" standpipe DIY design is good, and I'm pretty sure I can handle making them and installing them. Had some other advice that the "Megaflows" are the best and just purchase them?? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

I like the megaflows they work fine and they have a screen

never had a problem with my megaflows. one tank has been running for 5+ years and another with dual has been running for 2 years

i just had to go buy 2 for this 120 im setting up but my other tanks have had them and never once had any issues with them for 3-4 years running straight. i just paid $58 a piece

I went with the kits for my 210 and they seem fine. I priced out doing it my self and I don't think you will hardly save anything after all the plumbing, lock line, and bulkheads are purchased.

Thanks everyone. I think you're right about the marginal cost savings. I'll probably go with the Megaflows.

What's the best place to pick up them up?

Haven't spent too much time looking-but found several sellers on ebay. Although I have to admit that I went to a home center today, and all the parts for 2 drains (not including the bulkheads which I already have) was less than $8. Still have to buy the loc-line for the return, though (<$10 per side). So I take back my last post! I'm going to try the home-made Durso design. I'll let you know how they work.
