Ryan, You may have figured it out already, but the white dots in the picture are an "X" of pvc pipe. The X would sit on top of your existing pipe. The part above the white dots would be above the water level which may be an aesthetic issue for you. Since the barrel in my case was a much larger diameter than the stand pipe, it allowed water to be pulled in from under the surface. Nothing floating on the surface would be able to enter the standpipe.
