Never having had one myself, so I don't know if they are labelled - they should be the way round that stops the water going back along the tube in the opposite direction from the air and potentially draining the tank.


Though Steve will probably come along and say I've got it all wrong  ;D

I wouldn't dream of being so gauche!  If it is not labelled, try blowing through it, you should only be able to blow through one end. That is the end that connects to your pump. The other end connects to your air stone.
