Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am in the process of setting up my sump. I have been reading alot and have viewed Melevsreef.com - Welcome! . That is a great site and extremely helpful. My only question involves the return line. He says to avoid overflow he drills 2 small hole in the return line about 1/2 in down from the water line to use as a siphon break. I have also been reading about others who have added Check Valves in the return line to also solve this issue. Any advice between the 2 methods? What do most people do? Drilling 2 holes is easier and less expensive than buying check valves and actually having to do the plumbing. Is it as effective though? Thanks!
