    Hi all ... I just wanted to let you know that I did this exact thing and it works wonderfuly. Very quiet indeed. FYI, I believe you will find that this version of the Durso Standpipe is actually called a Stockman Standpipe. I'll see if I still have the link.

    Cool! I made one of these last night and now all I hear is the waterfall. Nice! I'm thinking it would be pretty easy to make it a little taller if I ever decide the waterfall is too loud. What'd ya'll think?

    The LHS didn't have the same reducer fletch used so I used the bushing and coupler before I ever even saw the other plan! I like the idea of using the bigger holes in the pipe anyway. Karma to you fletch for the inspiration!
