I do not run the output in the center of my tank, and the dual valve setup was creating crosscurrent in my tank. Now I have a beautiful circular current, and the fix cost me $0.98

Just figured Id share my results. Im in love!
 
Cool..

Im not even kidding, the flow rate is freaking day and night with this $1 mod.....EASILY the best $1 I have spent in a looooooooooong time...

u could have used a regular 90 degree elbow.


The barbs on this attach it directly into the hose, and hold it snugly, I can also angle it slightly with the barbs, and it will retain position.
