piraterides2020 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 So on my 3 tier rack if I get the flow going a bit faster they will gargle. So they will fill to a point and then flood down the 19mm tube and gargle until they drain out slow again,then fill higher and woosh out again and GARGLE. So my question is if I put a t piece on the back to allow air flow will this stop the flood and fill problem?? Thanks in advance to any help on this.

jc12 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Having a similar issue. I am now using a 90 elbow instead of T elbow. Can I drill a tiny hole at the top of the 90 to achieve the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An airline snorkel may not be enough and is easy to clog from insects. Why don't you try and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
