I've been running herbie overflows on 2 tanks for several years now. The siphon line just has a screen stuck right in the bulkead of the overflow box.
I'm setting up a bean animal on my 180 and all the diagrams I see have the siphon line set with a 180 degree elbow arrangement with the open end about an inch from the bottom of the overflow box. Well there is one exception, brs has a diagram that shows the siphon line with just a screen on a straight pipe.
What is the purpose of doing the 180 elbows over just having a screen stuck in the bulkhead of the siphon line at the bottom of the box? Is that 180 bend necessary for some reason?
If it helps I'm using a modular marine overflow with the external box. Thanks.
