And its a pain to remove the tubing everytime 2 weeks to change the carbon? How to make my life easier

I know they sell this https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/barb-x-shutoff-push-lock-coupler.html but how would it work in terms of changinf to that?

Why are you having to remove the lines for to replace carbon? You should only be twisting the chamber on and off to replace?

Because my infinia 190.5 doesnt give me space under the tank: so my reactor is inside the sump water its difficult

Oh ok so your having to leave lines in sump to take out manifold and chamber correct?
Yea I've used those quick connects before they are great and easy.

Correct:. How does those quick connect works? Like do i need new tubing?

Nope just screw into manifold and the the tubing fits over the barb part of fitting. Easy easy.

jesus, turned out the deluxe kit the push connect fittings are inserted permanently inside the canister, i have to change the whole canister for that. Also the tubing need soft tubing otherwise the tubing will split on that push lock fittings, also need 1/2 to thread adapter jesus need everything

You could consider getting a John guest collet removal tool, which would make removing tubing from the stock quick connects easier.

Makes it easier to press down and hold the collar down to remove tube.
