    Alright guys I have another pump question.

    Mini-Jet Powerhead claims to be adjustable from 18gph to 108 gph. How safe are the adjustments on these things? If I set it to 18gph and maybe throttle it back a little more with a ball valve I think it will work in my application but if this system fails and the pump goes WOT its going to flood my room ( I think).

    I am thinking about ruling out the aqua lifter as it may tend to get clogged up in this application since it uses 1/4" line.


    EDIT: I have it up and running. http://www.3reef.com/forums/i-made/1-qt-windowsill-refugium-96257.html#post981891
