Hi all
I want to change my Eheim green shepherds crook and intake by something 'less green' but also for something easier to manage when cleaning the tubing. I don't want glassware, I've broken an intake, it is expensive, not easy to clean for dumb people like me and I don't want to mess with boiling water and so each time I want to clean the tubing. I want something easy, safe and as nice as possible. I'm quite limited with DIY difficult projects and bending acrylic is not as easy as it looks... At least that's what I've read.
I like Eheim and JBL inlet and outlet sets, both in black... It is not clear plastic but at least not bright green. What I like the most is that in both cases the tube is attached to the crook/inset with a threaded hose connection. That makes it easier to manage. Eheim is a bit expensive IMO and with the outlet set you have to buy a spraybar which is useless to me (I lost quite a lot of time to adjust my clear spraybar to my setup, so I doubt this one is going to do the job. Moreover to cover the whole length I need I have to buy additional fittings, so still more expensive).
JBL looks nice and much cheaper.
I suppose lots of people here do use these JBL filter connection as I think these are the ones coming with JBL CristalProfi filters, isn't it?
Any problem to report? Any better option for me?
