Beananimal Overflow - Ball or Gate Valve?
Is it ok to use a ball valve on the full siphon or will it not have the fine tuning that a gate valve will provide?
Thanks. TW |

It's one of those things where you hate it because you're going to drop $30 for something you'll only use once, but a gate valve is worth every penny. Makes life SOOOOOOO much easier.

Seems I can't find a gate valve locally.
If I am patient will I be able to find the sweet spot with a ball valve or will it just not happen? |

i dunno, but a 1.5 inch gate valve here is 80 dollars.

Gate valve is the only way to go. I would never be able to tune the ball valve precise enough to get what I need. I have a ball valve branching off my main line to my refugium and that's hard enough to get right.

It sucks to drop a lot of money on one valve but well worth it

I use a ball valve on my setup and it works flawlessly. Plus once it's set you never have to mess with it.
