    It is the valve that dispenses water from a reactor like calcium or kalk. It needs to be able to allow slow flow like only drips. Some thing like an IV drip valve.

    Not reefgeeks but I have tried Marine Depot, and the Dr's and they only have the pinch kind and I bet that will clog up after a while.

    Is that what you use Jason? You ever have a problem getting it to keep the same drip rate? The only ones I have found so far are these.
