I know this was posted a long time ago but I am plumbing my tank and was wondering why not just have the loc line sit just above the water surface? that way no water can get sucked up

oh never mind haha I just read your other post
I'm assuming I just described what you called an "air gap"

I've tried this and it just created an annoying water splashing sound. Then, right below the water line the nozzle sucks air. Both annoying.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
