Aquarium Advice Regular
As the title suggests, I am looking for tips and suggestions on where to get aquarium "grade" check valve(s).
For those who don't know what a check valve is, It's a type of valve that only allows flow of water one way.
I have been able to find loads of brass check valves locally, but from my research brass isn't recommended for use in aquariums as brass contains copper and has a good chance to leech it into the water and poison the fish in the tank.
I guess I am wondering if anybody on AA has used a check valve in their aquarium before and if so where did you source it?
Ideally it would be made from a form of pvc.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
