IOS return


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Help! I can't seem to find a definite solution to return water from my IOS compartment into the tank. The diameter of the hole (shown in the pic) is 13.5mm so I can't use a conventional tubing to plug it up (12mm / 16mm). I have thought about just covering up the hole and pumping the water over tje compartment itself but it wouldnt look too aesthetically pleasing. My options now are:

 

Find a tubing that can fit

Find a powerhead / pump that has an attachment that can fit

If all else fails, plug the hole and pump over

 

If anyone has any ideas as to how i can return water through this 13.5cm hole please please share with me . Thank you20191204_175304.jpeg

If I can't find an exact fit, my ideas are

12mm external diameter tube through the hole + stuff excess space with sponge

OR

Stuff hole with sponge, (in the back compartment) put the 16mm external diameter tube around the sponge

Maybe a bulk head will help.. cos it has a "tolerance" to cover the entire area with rubber gaskets
