Right now I'm using a large 30g bucket for my TO water.
My sump is lower than the level of water in the resevoir so I keep running into issues with a siphon.
Right now I'm using a mag400 and 1/2" tubing for quick topoffs, but am thinking of downgrading to a Tom's Aqualifter.
So my couple of questions.
1- would a check valve be fool-proof way to make sure the siphon doesn't keep? Or is there decent risk of failure?
2 - Can an Aqualifter successfully form a siphon between its input and output hoses when the pump is not running?
Any other tips that maybe i'm stupidly overlooking?
