Hi all,

The documentation for the ReefDose says that tubing with a 1/8" ID and 3/16"-1/4" OD should work. I can't get the nut over 1/4" tubing though. Any ideas where to get 3mm ID 5mm OD tubing? I bought the RedSea tubing kit, but I need more than 10 feet.

Has anyone else found a reasonably priced alternative?

What about ditching the RedSea nut, using 1/8" ID tubing, and using a tiny hose clamp?

Thanks!

There are 1/8 to 1/4 tubing connectors available. Check BRS or Amazoinks. Nylon or plastic are fine. It is fairly common to find these conversion connections with GHL and other brands to address this common opportunity.
