  1. No, i wouldn't risk it with the corals.

    I think a check valve would work on your return so when you shut it off to feed it wouldn't flow back into the rear chamber.

    Aquatic Eco-Systems: Aquarium Supplies - Check Valves
    You will need the 11-15mm (standard 1/2" vinyl tubing used in biocube returns I believe is 12.7mm ID) one and some hose clamps.

    Great news! My lfs fixed the float valve with some super glue and acrylic solvent. Also, I now have enough money to but one panorama pro strip!!!! That's enough to keep Lps and softies right? Then later on I can get another for sps.

    For some reason my water looks dirty. I think it's the glass on the inside so I'm going to clean it with a rag because my mag float sucks. What should I use to clean?

    What about it? From now on I'll have to remove it to feed I guess.

    The check valve would prevent that. It would make everything quick and convenient :p
