It is simple more or less. My point. Well, actually it is his point, and only request, is that if you use the name bean animal and his design his request is to be exact, not a hybrid or modified design. There is a long thread with valuable information on RC. If you follow his design then it will be reliable, quiet, and handle any amount of flow you throw at it. That is why I said the post is not a BA design and not reliable.

Reference his design and why he did it, it is all explained here.

Bean Animal image for reference. Notice air vent, elbows, primary, secondary, and emergency and why they are set up that way.

What is RC

What is RC

Reef Central. Another forum. I do not know the context of the question but since this thread is about Bean Animal overflows RC has an amazing archived thread that is split talking about the overflow, design, and help with new users. It contains a wealth of knowledge.

It is also a soda.
Also short for Radio Control.
