    would i be able to put a durso in one of these? its only 2" from front to back for the 700gph model im looking at. all i would do is put an elbo in it pointing down and have the accuall durso outside the tank. anyone have experience with gl*******s overflow kits?

    I got a 700g from them. That sounds like a tight fit. You should email them. They're very good about returning emails.

    Why would you want to put a Durso in there? These overflows are very quiet by design. The bulkhead on the 700 is 1.5" - you'd never fit an elbow in there.

    just get it, you wont be unhappy. they are quiet as is. Im sure if you do want one to fit a durso they will custom make you one.. they custom cut the hole for mine according to the depth I wanted it at. Nice guys to deal with for sure.. Plus you get candy with every order.

    awesome thanks a bunch but just wondering but if i put a durso in without the elbo would that make any difference? this setup is in my room so quietness is an absoulute must.

    mine never made noise unless I ran my pump at full blast, which was a mag 9.5 so I think I was close to the 700 gph limit.. Even then it was an occasional slurp, which was never bad.

    LOL ok that makes more sense to be filtered. They need to move the hyphen to be GL - (rest here)
