Re: [Killietalk] Whats best to use for a killi recirculating / sump water filtration system?

[Ken Simolo <Simolo at chem_chem.rochester.edu>]

Hi Jim,

I use the drip irrigation flag emitters for my system.  That way, all 
the tanks get the same flow for the same size rated emitter.

For the drains, use a gasket punch to cut plugs out of articulated 
foam.  Can do a large number in 15 minutes.  I put these into the 
elbow fitting used as a drain.  In tanks without peat, they last for 
many months to many years (I have some that are still in use at 10 
years).  I do not bother to clean them since they are so easy to make 
but one could if they so chose to do so.
