All right here we go....
I've got a tru vu 55 gallon with about 20 gallon sump. With out a check valve, the sump gets very close to over flowing with a simulated power outage. Right after the return pump, I've place a hard a plumbed PVC non-clear check valve bought at the local hard ware store. I've lost about 97% of flow out the 4 return heads. After the check valve, I've got a shut off valve, which goes to 4 parts of the manifold, and they each have their own shut off valves. Which go the four return heads. I've already bought a clear shut-off valve on the big
[hr]
site. When is comes in, I'll install it. It's the flapper style.
