Let me look into this...check valve on return line
if that's a steel pipe clamp, it needs to go.
Yeah I have some plastic ones on order already. But also, that's all rodi in that chamber, not salt. It's stainless steel, husband says it's safe in fresh, I still ordered something elseif that's a steel pipe clamp, it needs to go.
good eye...if that's a steel pipe clamp, it needs to go.
Also the reason that chamber isn't filled with rodi yet - too paranoid to risk it.good eye...
stainless still rusts. just not as fast.Yeah I have some plastic ones on order already. But also, that's all rodi in that chamber, not salt. It's stainless steel, husband says it's safe in fresh, I still ordered something else
The replacements are supposed to be here tomorrow, so I can switch them out then fill that chamber up. Fingers crossed Amazon doesn't let me down.stainless still rusts. just not as fast.
through the mouth.I think I have another nem prepping to split.
one can only hope this trend continues when they all get moved.
do they split through the mouth or does a new mouth develop before splitting?
Danggggggg.... This is a Family site Sir!poppin...
I had to do this when I first bought my tank because there was so much algae growth and resistance in the return it was siphoning. Started @ 1/8" with no change, 1/16", and needed 3/8" to break it.from gmacreef.com
Drilling a small “Anti-Siphon Hole”
– A small hole or two can be made in the pipe just under the surface of the water. As soon as this hole sucks in air, the siphon will be broken. These holes are usually made around 1/8″ in diameter — as anything smaller might not be able to reliably break the siphon. They are usually placed about 1/2″ beneath the surface of the water to avoid turbulence or create micro-bubbles.
Watch out – you should be aware that a small hole is very susceptible to getting clogged by debris or some kind of livestock in the tank. During normal operation at a positive pressure (water going out) this is unlikely to happen, however when flow stops, water will start to suck in through the hole, and it can tend to slurp up any surrounding algae or debris. It is also possible for the small hole to become completely covered by the growth of Coralline Algae. If the anti-siphon hole is clogged, the siphon continues until some air eventually enters the line from the main nozzle. If this is normally several inches beneath the surface, this can be a lot of water!
