So I had someone give me a very 60's looking tall skinny tank that is about 6' tall with base and cap.
I'm thinking about making this a refugium for very large macro and while I'm at it... the flow would be about right for some SeaHorses maybe? Or Jelly fish if I could find some that survive in standard reef temp.
In order to facilitate good water flow thru the tank and to support jellyfish or Sea Horses with a water up-draft, I was going to run the water input through a rotating inlet at the bottom of the tank, and the drain at the top:
BUT... with much terror I just realized, this would be a reverse syphon nightmare from the underworld.
SOOOooooo need my fellow fish gurus input here... what is the master of all syphon breakers.
I have used Check-valves in the past, but they always seem to get stuck open after they have run for a while, plus they put pressure on the pump that I'll already be fighting to get this high up.I've tried to use stop and waste valve systems from sprinkler systems in the past, but they seldom fully break the syphon and they put bubbles in the line while running
Anyone else found any miracle-no-fail syphon stoppers? Found a solution, thanks to Eric
