    Prevent Flow Back to return pump

    in Product Reviews

    Posted

    one important thing to take while fixing the check valve.

    always get the right specification.meaning the desired flow rate,right pressure as the check valve has a flapper inside which permits only a single directional flow.if ur intention is to protect the pump's impeller theres no need to install the check valve as most pumps deltec,eheim and etc are centrifugal pump so the sudden back flow of the water which hits the impeller is of a considerable pressure and it wun spoil ur pump.but wat u can try is to install a t-joint(with another ball valve) after ur pump ball valve outlet to act as bleeder to remove the remaning water or pressure.and remember to install lots of union joint for ease of maintenance... ;)

    do u know where to get check valve?

    Bubble coral mouth remained open

    My bubble coral doesn't looked too good today, has never looked like that since so many months i kept it.

    Mouth is constantly open for the whole day, and does not infalte much even with lights on...doesn't look optimistic. All the other corals look happy and healthy.

    What could be the cause, and is there any thing i can do to save it? :(

    Ich will not appear out of the blue, and will not come and go if there are no predisposing factors like having the parasite residing in your tank in the first place, or adding new livestock or water that has the parasite in them.

    if your tank is completely rid of ich (fishless method), and your fishes are completely rid of the parasite before introducing into your tank, i do not think the parasite will appear out of the blue.

    However, it is not easy to upkeep this status, imagine even you have a tank totally clear of this parasite, and you got to hyposalinate every single new fish for a month before adding into your tank :nc:

    the only surefire way IMO to to treat all fishes in a separate tank (if you have corals) with hyposalinity methods, while leaving your main tank fishes for about a month. As long as there are still fishes in your main tank, although they may not look infected, they can be host for ich, and its a never ending story: Infected fish removed, treated, back to the tank...infected again.

    At least the method works really well for me :)
