Basically as some will know and others won't the filter is supplied with one length of hose with two soft rubber ends that when you cut the hose as required fit onto filter.
my problem is I have a hydor eth300 external heater and I can't find anywhere that sells the corrugated hose and rubber ends to glue on (tried a trade pipe and hose business) so I can make a small link section.
because I'm restricted in height I am running thin wall 16mm (5/8) with a 90 degree bend and jubilee clips at the moment which is prone to potential kinking unlike the corrugated stuff.
Several places I tried sell thick wall pipe but the hydor fitting won't tighten on it and I've had to jubilee clip the filter end as the locking ring doesn't tighten on the thin wall.
any Ideas where I can get either hose and rubber fittings or just rubber fittings so i can buy a fluval pipe and cut it down and glue a rubber on it
