Now that some of the pressure and stress is off. Didn't want to interfere with nonsense stuff at the time of need & help.

Don't know why but the first thing that went through my mind for a split second was to change your handle from "sinkingbeach" to "sinkingtank".

Kind of Indian ritualistic type names.

Can you tell I'd just watched Dances with Wolves before reading your thread?

mladencovic, I never really gave a thought to putting them above the water line. Had I thought of that I'd probably thought there would be additional noise or salt spray. Any issues with either? I'd assume it's better at not plugging up however. I stick mine with a toothpick every month or so when I'm drinking a martini looking at the tanks and have a pick in hand.

Absolutely no noise or splash/salt creep. It is just a very tiny flow under not too much pressure (I have split the return from the pump into two, so it 300-400gal/h per return). If you are diligent enough to check the holes, sure, under the water level is fine. But I am not, and this visual indicator is much safer for me. Once or twice a month a do go and clean them (algae growth), when I see that flow considerably slackens or disappears.

Sounds good thanks. I'll try this on the next tank.
