Hi guys

Recived my filters today. The pick up tube and spray bar are in clear plastic.
Being it is a show tank and the back of the tank is painted black would it be ok to replace the tube with black retic poly of the same size.
So that it blends in

Ie is it safe to use?

Regards Cobby :?

Mate if it is below the tank i could make you a stainless steel t peice
just need to know the id of the main hose you want to tee into and post it to you to try

it will be a frebie Mate for you to try

Dont know if stainless is ok in tank water but i have made heaps of stuf
for hosptail operating theraters so i would say it would be fine!

The preasure would be no problem for the stainless !

Think it has a burst rating around 4000psi depinding on the diameter and wall thickness!

Have a thinkk about it Mate and get back to me with some sizes :wink:
I have heaps of pipe of cuts laying around so its no drama laugh.gif
