Hi,
I have a 60 gallon reef ready tank with 10 gallon refugium. When I feed the fishes, I turn off the return pump from the refugium (basically cut off the connection between the main tank and refugium) to avoid the foods from flowing into the refugium, but when I turn off the pump, the water starting going back into the refugium and overflow the refugium. I do have a small hole in the return pump to avoid water from being suck back down (and it works fine in the beginning), but over time, I guess the hole is clogged, and my refugium overflows. Now I am afraid to turn off the pump. I am just wondering what you guys do to avoid that problem. Thanks in advance.
