Awesome, Ive ordered myself a spring.Pipe bending spring + paint stripper gun. How to guide somewhere in my 259 journal pretty early on. Ridiculously easy.
Cool, but thats per pipe. Plus HMCR are pretty zealous now about intercepting packages at customs now. And for some reason Royal Mail think its OK to add £8 on top of the vat for delivering your mail. You can ask they send it with gift on the customs form - but it doesn't always work.
Im not sure what wall thickness eheim use on their 12mm diameter pipework to fit 12/16 hose.
After looking arround a bit, i think the eheim ones use 13mm with a 1.5mm wall. Ive ordered an 8mm bending spring. Finding the acrylic is proving harder then i thought :'(Just order some with at least 12mm internal diameter - the hose will stretch loads so wall thickness not that much of an issue if slightly out.
These people are the cheapest I've found:Depends if you know anywhere cheaper.
You can get stainless mesh filters that slip over the end of the intake to prevent sucking out live stock. Work well on mine, no longer finding shrimp in my canister. Wouldn't mind having acrylic spray bar and pipes in my 30 gall. Two items that would be massive sellers in this game is a lily pipe with a 90 turn on the outlets neck so you can fetch them in from the back but point across the tank and an in line heater that isn't the size of a bungalow. My credit card is waiting.only downside i can see with these custom lily pipes is the holes on the inlets aren't really shrimplet compatible.
