Newb needs help with AIO KIT plumbing
Hi Guys,
I need some help and I apologize in advance for the the remedial issue I have but at least i know its gonna be solved. Im installing the center badfish reef AIO kit and dont know exactly what I need in order to plumb the return pump through the 1/2 inch hole into the tank. Im installing a hydor flo deflector and tried to directly attach the return pump through the hole onto the deflector, but as you can imagine it wasnt very stable and dont feel comfortable leaving it like that. Now i want to go the tubing route but how do I securely install the deflector to fit flush with the hole? This is my first tank so this is new to me. Thanks alot guys! |

You need to get some tubing that will fit your pump and the deflector.

but that on its own is not going to keep it snug in that hole or keep the deflector flush against it either

When I had a biocube I had a rubber 90 degree elbow. So the pump sits on the bottom, the tube goes up and turns 90 degrees to connect to your deflector. Sorry I should have explained it better the first time.
