anyone know where I can get these hose tails:

I just need the stepped adapters. I cut mine to handle 1' hose and now I need them back to where I can put 1/2" on them. American Aquarium is out of them and no one else has them in the U.S. that I can find.

3d print them? Should be a pretty easy print. I've done similar for a Sicce Silent 1.0 (the one on the left) and it has been in service for over two years.

I thought about it. I may give it a whirl.

And why, in tarnation, wouldn't you print them?

Dunno. Guess I had a fitting leak once and that’s why. But maybe this time will be better.

I was looking at buying a used UV that was missing them and couldnt source them anywhere. Even reached out to American Aquarium with no luck.

I didn't have a 3d printer at the time, but that is a fantastic idea now that I have one!

@dantimdad if you print them, would you be willing to share or link me to the file?

Operator error.

ok remixed a design and added to it and now have working hose barbs. Waiting on a new bulb and I can hook up the UV.

Mind sharing the file?

New bulb? Seems like you just got that UV about 4 or maybe 5 months ago.

It's been quite a while. But I also took it offline before the rimless tank sold. To be honest, I think I messed up the bulb. It comes on but it's white.

Not a big deal. It was supposed to have been here today but it looks like it got hung up.

Ok so I finally found the parts for my reactor.

Is this too much flow for GFO?

Could be as, generally, you want it to look like slow boiling water. I think it's pretty close though.

So I found a fantastic deal on a GHL doser slave unit and will be using it with my Maxi 2.2 SA to dose all4reef at first. Later, if growth demands it, I will switch to two part or some other method.

I have been so happy with the ease of use and accuracy of the Maxi, I decided to find a slave unit and use it. Luckily it's the 4 head and from a fellow R2R member.

I will keep y'all posted on the arrival, installation and setup.

Now, if I could just find a profilux 4 for $100....
