I might have missed this but where do you find the clear rod at? Thank you.

You can find them at an acrylic store you can also bend those to shape with a heat gun

I actually found some hard rodi water line I am going to give a try. Thank you for the response though. I misread the original post thinking it said acrylic not hard hose.

Sorry for the late reply but I get rigid airline tubing from my LFS for like $2.

Wow, you literally do the same exact thing that I do. I guess the only real difference is that I put little loops on mine for easy hanging from under my stand.

Thanks for the DIY especially since it's a real money saver. I made about 40 of these for about $3. Thats 75 cent a piece. Do you rinse or soak these in Ro/DO Water before you replace them? My skimmer goes nuts after I replace the sock.

I personally have not been having issues like that when I switch them.
