SRC Member DUCADOS Posted May 1, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi,can some1 share with me info regarding where can I find or get such piping/tube? Thickness of piping is around size of a macdonald straw. Need to use it to connect to rubber hose of around that size to vacuum dirt at places where normal hose can't reach e.g the overflow compartment. Will need about 2 feet. If any1 have can sell me too Quote Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member LaW Posted May 1, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2010 transparent, i never seen it before for such a size. if you dun mind grey and the size of a straw. RD sells it for about $3 for a meter. and perhaps going down to C328 will be able to find something handy. they have got long rigid plastic tube for siphoning sandbed/dirt etc. Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Actually I did search for you clementi hardward shop, Woodland 888 and Vista point and West Coast area. they only sell grey and white color pipe... Just notice your main objective is looking for something to siphon/cleaning purpose.. I am using mini siphon below for my top part of overflow and sump... the tube slightly bigger than air pump hose... you can reach any area you like and yet flexible...I found quite effective and cost less than 2 purple notes.. Cheers... Quote LFS Map in singapore __________________ ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º> ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. >((((º> Cheers and Happy Reefing....

SRC Member DUCADOS Posted May 10, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks bro. Anyway the item on the pic above seems quite soft leh. Before hand I tried something like the air tube but in thicker form wan. Need use hand to hold tip to reach to the bottom of my 2.5 feet (height) overflow compartment. Very limited space for me to vacuum the area that's y I came across this idea to use a stiff tube instead. Quote Some1 doesn't 1 2 do anything find an excuse,some1 1 2 do something find a mean!

Very limited space for me to vacuum the area hats y I came across this idea to use a stiff tube instead. ic.. probably diff overflow concept.. I only siphon top part of overflow.. cause have some netting and wool in between to prevent fish jump in that area and also filter out debris... therefore I only need short stick at the end part.. may be for your case need longer..
