Do you guys know where/what brand of quality gang valves I can invest in? I have a 10 gallon that I need a 4 way for, then later on one for my 5.5 and also my 55 gallon. Penn Plax doesn’t seem to be good at all. I’ve used their Lok-tite plastic valves that either come apart or are totally off depending on which valve I’m using. I’ve also used 2 of their brass ones that always corrodes/plugs up & wears out my pumps in under a year. I’ve never seen any water or condensation on the gang valves. I’ve spotted their Air Tech valves at Petco or Petsmart but I don’t want anything Penn Plax anymore. I’ve seen Hagen plastic ones but they look cheap as well. I don’t mind paying up to $25 for a 4 way gang valve as long as it’ll last at least several years.
 
I have yet to get a brand with more than 50% luck. Of all my 4 ways....I usualy get 2-3 working valves. I started buying litle inline controllers and splitters. I am going to try the new chrome ones I saw.
