I have a 125g that has dual corner overflows currently utilizing dursos for noise control.

I am upgrading to a 240g with dual corner overflows and want to try running either a Herbie or Bean Animal system. From my understanding both of these will require a gate valve on the primary drain's vertical line.

The overflows each have a 1" and a 3/4" bulkhead.

As with everyone else - silence is the name of the game. So how would you do it?
 
Definitely a bean animal for me, and I'd do a ghost or shadowbox overflow. I'm assuming you planning to drill the back and plug the corner overflows if you go with either a herbie or bean animal?
 
In an ideal world, I figure out a way to use the existing overflows. I saw another thread (which I have since had trouble finding) where a Herbie was split between the two corners of a 125. Just not sure I trust that though...
