overflow tube replacement?

kevin21 · 03/08/2006, 06:31 PM

hey,

well the water level in my tank has been going out of wack everyother night! its been such a pain the past couple of days as it takes hours to regulate.

i went downstairs and the level is up to the rim again!!!

so i have to start the suction up in the overflow again and when i start to do it, i see water on the overflow tube...i thought it was my wet hand.

ends up being a leak...this must be why the levels keep messing up, to much air in the overflow tube!

i really need a replacement tube quick....anybody know where i can get one??

my dad is even willing to go out tonight to stop this h#$%!

aquahut maybe?

thanks

You should be able to find a replacment U tube at a few places, if your dads going to run out just call ahead and ask. The tube may be linger on one side but you can just cut it down to fit. You can use the replacemnt tubes for any canister filter, just match the size.

Aqua Huts usually open but the one place that never answers the phone but will more than likely have what you need.

if you can't get one for awhile...use one of my favorite reefing tools.......duct tape....I've done it .....it works..just wrap it up tight.
