Curious thought about my placement on this check valve while keeping everything compact. My reason is to induce the velocity of water by limiting space between the lift tube and valve to pull more water through the sponge filter. A mechanical thought process without a powerhead.
Aquatop Setup:
AP50
CAF25
Check Valve
Airline
Airstone
Yes, my air pump is more than sufficient for air flow rate with tank size. However, way to many bubbles to have on medium/high. Modded CAF25 w/Airstone for finer bubbles.

This placement of the Check Valve is incorrect, and can see flooding should the connection come loose. The Check Valve should be installed just above the water line.
