Guys, help me understand the water height on the trigger 36. I am running a herbie overflow with dual returns. The trigger sump won't have the drains 1" below the waterline needed for siphon on the herbie like this will it?

Also I'm trying to see how mucj room I am going to have left over in the sump for backflow. Anyone with a trigger 36 running a herbie please post pictures and your setup.
Thank you!

Just filled the sump up and as I thought.... the water line isnt submerged 1" below bulkhead to run a herbie drain!

How the hell am I supposed to use the filter socks if I have to add pipe to the bottom of bulkhead. Which will then be in the way of sliding socks off and on
 
It doesn’t need to be submerged.
