Have the overflow box, trying to figure out what figuration of piping to use for the Herbie Style Overflow. Heres what I got, tell me what you think or any adjustments. The main drain is about 1/2" higher than the siphon, and the emergency about 3/4" above the secondary.

I am running one that short. I have it set up with the down turned elbow like the first pic, but I use a "T" to fit the elbow to the bulkhead so I can have a cap on the top of the "T" with my anti-siphon hole drilled in it. Anecdotally, the removable cap came in handy when I drilled the hole too large in an attempt to silence the flow...
